Ftl ships tier list. Ive divided the 28 ships into five main tiers based around different levels of overall strength. Now this list is split into two starting weapons and store weapons. Everything below is obsolete with ae. Lanius b crystal b zoltan b. These ships come in a variety of layouts and can be equipped with various systems and subsystems weapons drones and augmentations.

After seeing so many ftl tier lists floating around on the internet i decided that i might as well put one together myself and post it here on my website. So ftls been out for a while and i figure weve all had enough time to let our opinions of the different ships settle and i thought itd be fun to rank them. Each player ship can carry a maximum of eight crew members of various races with an initial crew of between one and four members. However all ships were not created equal thus i have created a tier list of them based on their ability to beat the game on hard ranking them 1 28. The weapons at the top of the list are consistently effective in almost any ship set up. Starting weapons can only be found aboard the ship that has them i include crystal weapons because getting to the crystal sector to buy them is an extremely rare and difficult.
I may attempt to add the new ships to the tier list after some derusting and playing the new ships however i am currently in college nearing finals and am also invested competitively in other games so no promises. 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.

Halberd beam and leto is an awful awful starting arsenal good for sector 1 2 if youre lucky. With the advanced edition update ive started playing ftl again after a half year hiatus.
