Boarding drones have the same amount of health and attack as a rockman and will fare similarly in battle. Created out of general boredom.
Ftl Tier List
Ftl drone tier list. It means the ability to work through a defense drone half damage in the event of a miss and most. The weapons at the top of the list are consistently effective in almost any ship set up. Jettison these are weapons that need to be replaced as soon as you find something from tier 0 1 or 2 on the store weapon list. Drones are equipment that a ship can utilize to perform various defensive or offensive duties. The one exception in amazing tier would be the pike beam and thats because its fairly easy to get something to break through shields and the trade off is immense. This is not an alignment chart.
Its a surprisingly small tweak because of how limited you are but it makes the ship so much more fun to play. A boarding drone always causes a hull breach in the room it lands in however the drone doesnt require air and will remain active unless it is destroyed or loses power. Faster than light drone tier list. Is how i would rate them. Basically defence drones are great as they protect you from missiles and save you on repairs. To deploy a drone the ship must be outfitted with a drone control system.
I find engi c to be the weakest of the lot. Again its most similar to the lanius a and the slug c the two other ships in ftl that also start with hacking. The endgame of this tiers list is a mod to tweak a few of them ive already been playing an engi b with a an extra drone slot and a vanilla boarding drone. Additionally every time a drone is deployed a drone part is consumed. Drone recovery arm should get a boost to top of tier b especially if you pair it with hull repair to get a free 2 repair each jump. Two projectiles is both a blessing and a curse.
Zoltan shield bypass should also get a boost and be put in tier b for how much time and damage it saves you against zoltan ships and phase 3 of the flagship. Faster than light by subset games. Even a tier 3 might be a better choice depending on circumstance. Leto missile zoltan a. Now despite everything just mentioned this ship is still above average on the tier list and thats because the hacking drone control combination truly does offer a lot of value. Crystal burst mk i crystal a 2 shots with 1 shield pierce but long cooldown and can be stopped by defense drones.
Boarding drones are used to board the enemy ship without risking your crew. This is a tier list. Each category is ranked from top. Since ftl is a game of rng you want to minimize any variance as much as possible. Quadrant view view community rank.
