I have over 100 hours in FTL and I still have trouble beating Hard mode consistently. I'm currently trying to beat hard as one of the Mantis ships to unlock the Slugs. What's the best Mantis ship type? What are some elite advanced level protips?
I had 1 minute and beat this game by refunding it.

I'm actually in the same boat as you. I haven't touched FTL in a while, but I was having a lot of trouble on hard mode. I think I left off trying to unlock the Crystal ship and never did.

Just download a save file and have fun :)

Don't use Engi B

Mantis B&C are much better than A, 4 man teleporter is OP, they both have rough start, but if you get past first two sectors they absolutely destroy everything in their way. There are a lot of small things that make you good at FTL, best way to learn is to watch someone who is good at the game like DarkTwinge or Lethalfrag.

On hard, teleporting becomes a lot less useful when enemy ships start having med bays.
fuck this game and its retarded rng

That what bombs/weapons/hacking/crystals are for. Also against some ships you can abuse enemy AI and have some of your boarders in the shields while others destroy the medbay.

The RNG is not bad, unless you are using a few of the crappy ships. Probably you are just bad at the game.

I dunno, some of the events are pretty bullshit. And if you get shit RNG and can't get any extra crew on ships that start with 1 or 2 members, well, you're boned!

Part of being good is knowing what each event does, and what option to choose, and there is only one actually bullshit event that you cannot just ignore, and even that one only has 1/4 chance of a bad outcome. As for crew, Engi B is just a bad ship, weakest one in the game IMO, and there are not many ships with 2 starting crewmembers either.
