Tips

Once close to the tag out of the galaxy, prefer to explore the surrounding areas trying to recover: scrap, missile, part drone, fuel or number of your crew. The only time you need to focus on the leak when the rebel fleet are too close to you or that you lack the fuel or life.

Cross a sector trying to go through the most points possible.

Abuse the break in the fighting. This will allow you to better adjust your strategy throughout the battle.

Quickly improve your infirmary at level 2. In this improvement is not very expensive and moreover, it unlocks many phrases "blue" to earn extra crew member at random quests.

Near suns are ready to deal with fires in your ship. But the best is yet to avoid if you have improved your detectors.

Use missiles and bombs wisely, as to damage the system shields the enemy. Abuse'll just be a mess and you would fall short of ammunition.

Concentrate your fire on the important targets (weapon, shield, steering, etc.). Different situations.

If the situation allows, prefer taking enemy ships by the murder of his crew. Your rewards will be even greater.

The hull damage can quickly present a major blow repair preventing you improve your ship. Paralyze attack your opponents aimed their weapons.

The timing of shots is vital in FTL. The autofire is therefore not your friend. Be sure to take down the shield of the opponent before your lights with your missiles and beam radiation for example.

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of all the races of the game is vital. Mantis / Rockmen are the best fighters but are very bad repair. The Zoltans are good for power shields, weapons or engines but their energy bar is wasted anywhere else. The Engi meanwhile are excellent repair but are bad everywhere.

The best unit to send to board an enemy ship is the Mantis monitoring Rockmen. A good strategy with Rockmen is to teleport into a room on fire. Immunity allows fire to inflict significant damage to opponent.

Do not use autofire your crew on the enemy ship. You could lose all your members!

Do not discuss automatic vessels. They do not have oxygen and your crew eventually die.

Divide your team members to be more powerful in their field: a pilot, a fighter, a repairman, etc..

A Rockmen have enough life to be teleported, destroying the room while being attacked then repatriated to the ship.

Lasers Hull, hull beams and hull missiles will do more damage in the empty rooms.

Earn your "scrap" early in the game to buy good weapons from the merchant. You can also increase your crew through some accumulated scrap.

If your crew is large enough, attack slavery and do not accept the option to recover an additional member.

Never forget to buy fuel in stores never get dry after a jump.

You can explore longer nebulae because the rebel fleet will move more slowly in the same sector.

ALWAYS choose the blue sentence at random quests. These sentences will be always beneficial no matter what.

Tags distress represent an unmeasured risk. In fact, you'll never go on what you get, if there will be a natural disaster, losing a member of your crew, etc..

If you have no more fuel you can always place a distress call to save you.

When the fire is inside your ship, close the door and open the room towards the exit your ship to extinguish the fire. Then, open all the doors to find oxygen.
