But it gives you additional 60% evasion. Isn't 100% all the time and you can pre-charge starting weapons and attack before enemy can. It is a bit situational.
Do not cloak right of the bat, the enemy will just wait until it runs out, cloak just as the enemy fires, that wastes their time and with missiles its a sure miss.
It is only +60% evasion. You need 40% more to evade surly. While you are cloaced enemy can't charge but you can. You can sometimes destroy enemies weapons before giving any time to shoot. Situational. Useful.
@@principleshipcoleoid8095 Please stop giving unhelpful advice. Wasting the cloak and then having to deal with being shot at with 30% dodge is far worse than cloaking after they fire and dodging with 90% odds.
@@principleshipcoleoid8095 You're never going to be able to do that to anything other than the weakest possible enemies in sector 1 and 2 on lower difficulties. Following that methodology will get you killed as soon as the enemy gets more than 1 shield bar and 1 or 2 points in weapons or they dodge your first shots, unless you can get four Flak 1s with Weapons Pre-Igniter or something similar.
@@KCzz15 I said it was situational. Even in later sectors against enemies with slow recharge and/or with weak defence and if you have good weapons. There is even an challenge for stealth cruser to kill in the time of one stealth. Again, this sometimes is better options. For example, enemy with beams stronger then your shields and other weapons. Gotta attack before they can charge. Sometimes you can shoot twice before enemy with max stealth.
You can always fire while cloaked, it just reduces the cloak timer unless you have "stealth weapons" augment. If you fire while cloaked, take a look at the timer and it will jump down.
Cloaking gives 60% evasion. So if you have 40% base evasion and cloak you get 100% evasion. So you can let them shoot and dodge the shot while you can charge your weapons. Tris means they effectively waste a shot. If you cloak before they fire, they don’t waste that shot. Also, stealth weapons means you can shoot without losing your cloak. Without them you can still shoot, but your cloak will deactivate sooner.
@@lopezbruno3074 The losing your cloak thing never applies to beam weapons by the way, you can always fire beams weapons while cloaked with any ship, without penalty.
@@KCzz15 No, beam weapons affect cloak Also, you loose an amount of cloaking time, it doesn't turn it off instantly, but if you have lvl 1 cloak you loose like 80% of it per shot
I was considering getting the "Captain's Edition" but didn't. After hearing you say "More complex and unforgiving" boy am I glad I didn't get it. But I'm all for watching you play it!
Yessssss Captain's Edition is super fun :D That and the SPMK Insurrection mod. I think they're compatible with each other as well, but don't quote me on that.
I upgrade cloak and engines max before I can get shield. Once you have decent engines and full cloak, this baby is pretty good. Also, timing of the Laser and Beam weapon is essential.
Up for mods and captain's edition! But, please do repair a bit after making purchases, running tight on hull for other advantages is fun. But, once you get below 50% hull, you start to get to the point a bad luck weapon set up from an enemy brings the series to a very cheap ending in a couple seconds. Like in situations where you bought the Mind Control, but had 4 scrap left, please get the 2 hull points, small moments like that, to reduce the risk of a cheap ending. Don't give up fun for hull though, thats not what i'm asking ^-^.
You know what? Go for it. Try the captains edition, if it is as hard as its supposedly supposed to be it could be interesting. And hey if it really truly lives up to it and a series isn't possible or something a fail/death montage couple still work for a one off special or something.
Already commented; but feel free to restart whenever after the first few jumps. If you get Bullshited (Bullshat?) in said first jumps, theres no point in continuing a run with the problems caused. No FTL player wants to do that.
When you were debating about buying the shields, I could only think that you wouldn't buy them and then the game would never give you the chance to get them later in the game
I hope there a not people stupid enough to stop watching you because of mistakes. Most of those streamer I watch are pretty bad and it is even more fun XD
Stealth Cruiser A difficult? What are you on about?! As long as you save you scrap at the beginning until you find a shield generator then you're set. Edit: Oh and you don't rate the Titanium System Casing, sweet summer child.
At the start it's a bunch of dice rolls until you get lucky, shops are not guaranteed and even if you find one shields aren't guaranteed either nor is the scrap necessary for it Until you get that you're at a unlucky hit of loosing the run
well i can imagine that like a few thousand ppl already told you that Cloak isnt cloak ... :D it just increases your evasion by 60% while active ... so if you want to use it correctly and avoid haters .... try to use it when your enemy fires his first shots or rockets .... that way you can evade these shots and delay his next voley but so far are you doing pretty well for the fact that you never flew this ship :) btw English is not my Native Language so forgive my Grammar .... Master Pravus
bloodred255 but the mini beam only does 1 damage per room. So they only have to repair 1 damage. The shied will be taken down a layer (unless they have an extra value point) but it’s still only 1 repair. For a halberd or glaive beam it can be good to start in shields, since that could take the shield down a level and allow every subsequent room hit to do more damage, but a mini beam can’t pierce shields.
@@bloodred255 I get what you mean, but that would only be the case if the beam could penetrate the shield If you aim a 1 damage at shields it does nothing if you aim a 1 damage at the hull it does 1, regardless of where it hits first hitting the shields while they are down won't increase the 1 damage of the laser

Agreed
would be great
Captains Edition?

I think this has been said before but you can activate cloak after the enemy shoots
But it gives you additional 60% evasion. Isn't 100% all the time and you can pre-charge starting weapons and attack before enemy can. It is a bit situational.
@@principleshipcoleoid8095 with 4 engines, it's pretty high dodge. :/
@@principleshipcoleoid8095 cloak is basically needed to beat the federation flagship however
@@easternanomaly it is strong. You just need to use it differently depending on an enemy

Firing beam weapons does not cause you to lose any cloak time, I just double checked. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

After hearing you say "More complex and unforgiving" boy am I glad I didn't get it.
But I'm all for watching you play it!
Anything that adds content is great in my opinion. Trying things is always good, even when its suffering haha
Pls continue this series pravus, i luv this game!
Yessssss Captain's Edition is super fun :D
That and the SPMK Insurrection mod. I think they're compatible with each other as well, but don't quote me on that.
Why not cloak when they fired the first shot?
If you've already been hit then it doesn't make sense, otherwise he may just haven't realized
These FTL series are super fun!
Subbed just for these FTL runs, good fun, keep them comin'!
I just wanna see more ftl, you have very interesting runs and it's a ton of fun!
I upgrade cloak and engines max before I can get shield. Once you have decent engines and full cloak, this baby is pretty good.
Also, timing of the Laser and Beam weapon is essential.
Even if i get frustrated while im watching you ill still watch anything you throw infront of me. ALL HAIL THE LORD PRAVUS !
I see that Rock hull thingy work really well here

Dude letting them burn was the right call...
You just had to cloak to not take fire.
Hey! You took my suggestion! Thank you! I love the Captains Edition :)
If you're enjoying FTL Pravus you've gotta try out Shortest Trip to Earth.
The captain edition sounds awesome. You deffinitely should do it.
Great Playthrough.

Any ftl content is good for me
but captain sounds cool
9:55 that drone gives you 1 bar of zoltan shield, regardless of your shields
Me: gets to sector 5
Also me when I see the percent: WWWWWAAAAAAATTTTTT
okay so what happened to the previous playthrough?
(i couldnt find the final episode and i dont know why)
which playthrough do you mean? Osprey, kruos and bulwark is still in the FTL playlist
I don't recall any other playthrough though
@@atcatcatc bulwark
Huzzah! More FTL!!
Captain's edition would be awesome!
More FTL, Huzzah!
I need more FTL!!!
Pravus I was playing FTL and I was doing the quest for the stealth ship and unlocking by destroying the mantis cruiser
24:00 We'll let the fires choke em out.
Yes! More FTL
Yes more FTL please
I'm up with mods!!!!! Wooooh more faster than light then go 100000x faster than light.
in the start whenever u cloak and then shoot ur weapons it cancels the cloak unless u had stealth weapons on
beam type weapons dont cancel cloak
FTL nice it’s been a while :)
24:32 MIND CONTROL THEM YOU FOOL!
24:12 mid control would be nice
Already commented; but feel free to restart whenever after the first few jumps.
If you get Bullshited (Bullshat?) in said first jumps, theres no point in continuing a run with the problems caused. No FTL player wants to do that.
Next FTL run when pravus?
ayy this great
Also try the Engi ship. You get drones and an ion weapon
More ftl yay
2:30 my first thought is, CORONA.
you do realize if you use cloak right before enemy rockets/lasers hit, they miss.
It is better to cloak when the enemy fires rather than at the start of a fight.
maybe put the rock on the guns so he does not have to travel so far to other rooms if needed.
Do not firing weapons or missles, maybe no boarding crew either but I thing that is not possible
Engi B *can* do drones only, you need a lot of luck tho for either an early drone recovery arm or a lot of drone rewards
0:07 You had me at the word mod, plz go play it
You can hit 4 systems when fighting rebel disrupttorr
Captains edition sounds great, but do whatever works best for you
Ohh modded? YES PLEASE!
When you were debating about buying the shields, I could only think that you wouldn't buy them and then the game would never give you the chance to get them later in the game
What difficulty is this?
Your credibility, it's GONE! I can't watch this anymore. Cause I finished it. And I'm waiting for the next one.
The Stealth ship is actually my favorite. It was the first ship that I was finally able to defeat the boss with for the first time.
Can u play INTO the Breach

Hey Pravus Gaming how sbout a Stellaris Series.
Any content is good content, but captain's edition could spice things up a little.
Have you trird a game called Bomber Crew. Its on stream and is a very simaler game

Hey can you play avorion or Victoria 2
Mistakes humjanize you...
Captains edition please
if you start the beam in the shields room and go the other way you do more damage.
also repair your doors.
bloodred255 only with a halberd or glaive beam. The mini beam only does 1 damage and therefore can’t penetrate any shields.
@@Sir_Budginton shields have 2 HP per shield, doing the shield first slows repairs.
look I stand by my statement.
