By the time your Zoltan Shield is knocked out, you should be ready to unleash whatever it is you had waiting.

It’s great for weapons with longer charges, since it gives you protection from pesky missiles and bombs. It’s a very good ship, and I have to say it’s probably my 2nd favorite. This ship just seems built for teleporting, so if you are using the Bulwark, get a teleporter ASAP. If you don’t want to use fire weapons, then try and get some Mantis. Since the Rock have a fire resistance, you can wreck pirates, rebels, Mantis, or anything in about 30 seconds flat. If you can do this, and work the fire in unison with your Rock crew members invading the other ship, you can set the entire thing aflame. Try and get some fire bombs, or a fire beam. You can make a boarding party that’s so good, it would make the even the strongest ship look like melted cheese in comparison. You also have one of the stronger races in the game. I’ve never tried the other Types of this ship, but Type A (The Bulwark) is more than enough. Try and get some Rock or Mantis crew members as well, and you should be set.Īhhh, the Rock ship. Make sure you get a missile or bomb weapon, and probably another laser. I think the only real problems are weapons and crew. The Engi crew is also great for making quick repairs. The very first drone you have, that shoots a puny laser, is useful even against the Flagship, because it never quits until something shoots it down (in stage two of the fight). Drones are a very useful ally, you just have to use them correctly and keep your supply in stock. As you saw in the picture at the start, the Torus is the ship I used to beat the Rebel Flagship for the first time. Having a drone system right at the start gives you a huge advantage, since you obviously don’t have to buy one now. The drone is where things really get interesting though. Heck, the starting weapon doesn’t DO any damage. It doesn’t have any hard hitting weapons, or a tough crew for that matter. When you first start out using the Torus, chances are you’ll think it’s terrible. This isn’t very good from sector 3 and on, but early on, when enemies have small shields, it decimates them quickly. This ship also has the interesting loadout of four simple lasers. You should have no problem quickly assembling a boarding team, or even just a team to defend against intruders. What makes it even greater is how diverse your crew is.


You get four crew members, which is great. I would recommend unlocking the Red-Tail (Kestrel Type B) as soon as you can, because it is one of my personal favorite ships, and for good reason. The only reason the Kestrel is on this list is because it’s the first ship you have. This is pretty obvious, but how do you know which one to pick? This section isn’t going to tell you about every ship, but rather what the best ships to use for your playstyle might be. The ship you choose has a massive impact on how your game will play out. Just get your game ready, and some orange soda, cause things are about to get space-tastic (sorry). Read the guide in order, or skip to whatever section you like.

You will emerge this guide not just a puny toilet cleaner on the almighty starship, but a full grown captain.

By the end of this guide, you’ll know how to use the Stealth ship expertly, the Rock ship as the ultimate boarding team, and how to manage a drone power surge, invaders, and multiple hull breaches. While the Rebel Flagship is your ultimate goal, it’s the decisions you make up to that point that count, right? This guide is going to ensure you get maximum scrap, a huge crew, subsystems, and good weapons. As a guy who has indeed beaten the game, and come ever so close to doing so multiple times before that, I’ve had lots of time to develop strategies for a huge number of situations. Before we get down to business here I’d like to explain this guide a bit more and tell you why it’s aimed to be better than most. An in-depth guide on ships, strategy, hints, tips, tricks, and more.
