FTL: Stealth Cruisers 

Stealth B my beloved. Probably the most inconsistent ship in the game but damn it's fun to obliterate things with the Glaive Beam

I played many many many attempts on the DA-SR12 to win on hard mode, and the only one I actually beat the flagship I sold the glaive beam right away.

saying Simo was a "deadeye" is the understatement of the century man went and got 570+ kills with his rifle, and that's just with his rifle that he could confirm, he didn't keep count of the SMG kills he had an artillery strike called on him personally when the soviets learned he was nearby, which is why he looks so messed up, he caught a hunk of shrapnel in his face as a result

To bad that the stealth of this ship will make the video flew under most radar

I always wondered why they put camoflauge on the Stealth B and C. Desert camo in space!

Great Vid. You're most likely correct about the DSR-12 being based off of Mass Effect's Normandy SR1/2, as the Normandy (in Mass Effect) is a prototype stealth ship created by Human-Alien co-operation, just as in FTL.

Nah I don't want to sell the titanium casing I wanna combine it with rock plating Is it a good use of augment slots? No. Is it stupid? Very. But there is a very small chance I can negate all system AND hull damage. Get hit with a missile and go "nuh uh".

I think the point of the overcharger drone+ is that is leaves enough room for another overcharger drone and a defense mark 2. It is the potential to be the nost impenetrable ship in the game, provided you're lucky

That Fear&Hunger jumpscare really got me 0_0 I just started playing FTL myself for the first time so these videos help me for my *Very Official, Expert-Backed Opinion* (TM)

RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FTL IN THIS DAY AND AGE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I got a weapon pre-igniter and a second Glaive beam on Stealth-B once. Completely shredded the game in two.

I'm like 99% sure the B variant was named after the SR-71 Blackbird.

Kinda shocked to see the Stealth ship A placed anywhere but in the S-tier of ships. It's starting weapons although unassuming are pretty darn solid for the first few sectors due to their fast reload speed allowing them to end most combats before the other ship can even fire (thanks to stealth). It starts off with 2 augments, 1 of which can be sold for 40 scrap to grab shields even faster. The only real weakness is early sector 1 or 2 drone ships which can output huge amounts of damage fast, but even then stealth buys you usually enough time to get weapons charged to disable their drone systems and finish the fight.

My first win ever was on a stealth cruiser. I got a teleporter, a Mantis and a Rock, and went HARD on upgrading engines. I only managed to get 3 layers of shields, but basically no one could ever hit me more than twice in a row anyway

Every ship is equal to me. *Looks at the stealth cruiser* But some are more equal than the others.

I would put the Stealth A in A tier and Stealth B in the lowest tier. I have a video on my channel of a hard difficulty run with Stealth A in which i never bought shields, and it was super fun. Stealth B on the other hand, even pro players with thousands of hours of experience can't do much better than 50% win rate in hard mode, and i think that's their lowest win percentage on any ship.

Man, i know these ships aren't very good compared to the others in the game, but this line of ships has always been my favorite to play with My favorite ship in the game is probably Stealth B

2:56 Having your weapons downed right as your about to fire them pisses me off too lol

‘A WW2 sniper’ You mean the deadliest Finn to ever live?

I think the DA-SR 12 is actually following the naming convention of the SR-71/72 jet also known as the Blackbird(71)/Son of Blackbird(72). US military aircraft use a system compromised of letter(s) hyphenated with numbers. The letters determine the role of the aircraft and the number was to indicate the iteration of the aircraft (though the numbering rule has recently changed). I.e.: F/A-18 is the 18th iteration of a particular design and its role is Fighter/Attack. The reason i suggest it follows the blackbird in particular is because S normally stands for Anti-submarine but in this case instead means strategic. Making SR to mean strategic recon. The SR-71 is a hypersonic high altitude aircraft and is designed to be very difficult to detect. So it makes sense to use it for a stealth ship. Mass effect likely got the designation from the same place. I'll shut up now. Lol

I think you should have done it in order, but too late now

you have too few subscribers man

Good vid!

2:10 talking about hacking when you mean cloaking?

Okay, but why specifically a starling? Do you have an issue with those in your area or something?

Okay cool vid but did you get the bird out of your house??

i have won several games with nesasio

"I love long range scanners!" Ah yes. I too love selling long range scanners!

lmao what long range sensors suck, you avoid encounters you get no scrap no scrap means no upgrades no upgrades means no chance Meanwhile titanium casing is basically a free 15% extra dodge that can't be ion'd like your cloak and engines.

some stealth ship guide bro doesnt know these ships start with a hidden stealth weapons mod lol
