FTL: Your best/worst ships

[MrPhyntch]

Crystal Ship (either one) would be my best. A is a more balanced ship, B relies too much on not getting early drones and finding early weapons. That being said, B is prolly my favorite between the two, and my "best" overall ship. And unlike an above poster, I did get mine legit (and quite on accident, I never knew of its existence till I got it.)

Worst ATM is the Mantis. Hated both Zoltan and Stealth at first, but after I got the hang of them fell in love with them, too. Only one I cannot love is the Mantis. Although I have the Mantis B and don't have Stealth B yet...

Also don't have Rock or Slug ships, so not too sure on them...

 

[Atmos Duality]

My best performances are with the Red-Tail (Kestrel B) and Noether (Zoltan B)
The Federation Cruiser is great too, but I prefer not stalling out battles to minimize potential damage (unless I'm doing a boarding strategy).

Worst performance is with the Slug B and Stealth A.
Slug B just really...pisses me off. Two mediocre boarders plus two missile-ammo hog weapons...both of which can MISS.

Stealth A offers very little incentive to play it beyond the Dual Lasers. (I can usually grab a Cloak in Sector 2). Titanium Casing needs a serious buff to help this ship. To something like 50%. It's just so terrible.

I'm also puzzled about Mantis A, solely on the account that it starts without Sensors for no good reason. Dousing fires is aggravating as hell as Mantis A until you fix that.

But my favorite is still between the Crystal A and Rock B (It's a Shivan! Cmon! Freespace? Anyone?)

My favourite is Kestrel Type B, because it comes with 4 basic lasers to start with.
That means it is capable of cutting through up to 3 levels of shields while still doing damage to the enemy ship.
Since my general strategy revolves around overwhelming laser superiority, it's the perfect ship for me to start with.
Also, its layout allows me to drain oxygen in such a way as to kill invaders without them ever damaging my systems or hurting my crew.
