All FTL: Faster Than Light Cheats and Tips - Latest First.

Easy Experience

When you are attacked by an enemy that is unable to penetrate your shield do not destroy them. If you instead remain idle you will gain easy Experience for your engine, pilot and shield crew.


Upgrades

There is no point planning upgrades in advance because of the random nature of the game but a good strategy is to always upgrade your weapons whenever possible before upgrading everything else at an even rate.


Keep Ion Shields Intact

If you drop your shields when you are being attacked by an Ion weapon you will prevent them from losing power. You just need to hope that the shot hits either something less essential or an empty area.


Combat

A good strategy when you encounter an enemy is to first focus on destroying their weapons so you save your own health. Then look to take out their shields and also their engines to prevent them from escaping.
