Sector 4
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 177](faster-than-light-177-small.webp)
I move up to be able to explore more beacons on my path towards the exit.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 178](faster-than-light-178-small.webp)
I pick
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 179](faster-than-light-179-small.webp)
the blue option
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 180](faster-than-light-180-small.webp)
and receive a nice reward.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 181](faster-than-light-181-small.webp)
The enemy has a Charge Ion weapon and a beam weapon, so disabling their weapons should be enough. In addition to that, there are 3 engineers which are easy to deal with in combat.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 182](faster-than-light-182-small.webp)
I keep focusing on the weapons
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 183](faster-than-light-183-small.webp)
After they put out the fires, I teleport in.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 184](faster-than-light-184-small.webp)
I am able to kill them, but I forgot a crucial system. The fight is not over because there is a clone bay. This is a mistake on my part.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 185](faster-than-light-185-small.webp)
I move the boarding crew into the clone bay, but it spawned the engineer preventing me to destroy the clone bay.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 186](faster-than-light-186-small.webp)
This continues so what I decided to do is
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 187](faster-than-light-187-small.webp)
to teleport 2 more of my crew into the enemy ship.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 188](faster-than-light-188-small.webp)
My original boarding crew is very low so I keep on moving them to avoid damage.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 189](faster-than-light-189-small.webp)
I teleported group 1 back and put 2 energy into the medbay to heal them. Meanwhile is group 2 keeping the engineers busy.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 190](faster-than-light-190-small.webp)
1 of group 2 is low so I keep him moving while I wait for the teleporter to cool down. I should've put 1 more energy into the teleporter to reduce the cooldown, but you can also "grind" some fighting levels like this.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 191](faster-than-light-191-small.webp)
I teleport group 1 in, while 2 crew members are destroying the clone bay, 1 crew member keeps the engineers busy in the shield room.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 192](faster-than-light-192-small.webp)
After the clone bay is destroyed I move group 2 away because both of them are low and let group 1 fight against the 2 remaining engineers.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 193](faster-than-light-193-small.webp)
The longer fight is slightly over, but it was worth it receiving a new crew member.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 194](faster-than-light-194-small.webp)
I already have 8 crew members so I dismiss the human Jack.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 195](faster-than-light-195-small.webp)
Having 2 engis can be nice if one considers the doubled repair speed.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 196](faster-than-light-196-small.webp)
I move the new engi into the engines because he already had full levels on engines, so I use the Slug and Mantis to board. I save the new station setup.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 197](faster-than-light-197-small.webp)
On another location, I choose to help them
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 198](faster-than-light-198-small.webp)
but it was an ambush.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 199](faster-than-light-199-small.webp)
I keep the 2 Mantis busy by sending my boarding crew in, because the enemy ship does not have a teleporter means that they will not be able to be called back.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 200](faster-than-light-200-small.webp)
I switch between the boarding crew and the 2 humans who manned the sensors and doors because Mantis are very strong in combat.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 201](faster-than-light-201-small.webp)
I dealt with the intruders and heal the 2 humans.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 202](faster-than-light-202-small.webp)
I can't break the shields, the Defense Drone II of the enemy ship can shoot down any projectile, rendering my attacks useless.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 203](faster-than-light-203-small.webp)
So I board them.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 204](faster-than-light-204-small.webp)
My boarding crew is at a slight disadvantage because they have 2 Mantis fighting while I have only 1 Mantis and 1 Slug.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 205](faster-than-light-205-small.webp)
I run away with the boarding crew
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 206](faster-than-light-206-small.webp)
call them back
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 207](faster-than-light-207-small.webp)
and heal them up. The enemy does not have a medbay which I can use as my advantage.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 208](faster-than-light-208-small.webp)
I take some damage by the beam, since it destroyed my vital oxygen system
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 209](faster-than-light-209-small.webp)
I move my engineers from the weapon system to the oxygen system because I can't pierce their shields anyway. Meanwhile I am boarding the enemy ship
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 210](faster-than-light-210-small.webp)
I am able to kill of 2 of the Mantis.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 211](faster-than-light-211-small.webp)
and I can overpower him due to the 2 versus 1.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 212](faster-than-light-212-small.webp)
I get a pretty high scrap reward and a lot of fuel.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 213](faster-than-light-213-small.webp)
It is finally time to upgrade the engines. I prioritize engines over shields, but the reason I upgraded shields before engines is that shields are more reliable earlier on. Evasion is superiour though, having around 50% evasion halves the damage you take as long as engines and piloting system are running, this can save you from a lot e.g. missiles which pierce shields.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 214](faster-than-light-214-small.webp)
After jumping I accept this quest
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 215](faster-than-light-215-small.webp)
to get more ressources.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 216](faster-than-light-216-small.webp)
After jumping once again, this dialouge can appear. Do not send help, it often ends with you losing crew members.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 217](faster-than-light-217-small.webp)
I continue my way towards the quest beacon
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 218](faster-than-light-218-small.webp)
to encounter this. I sell 6 drone parts, reason for this is I will not need many of those for the endboss, so I don't want to sell 12. Those will be used later once I aquire a drone control.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 219](faster-than-light-219-small.webp)
I continue my way and encouter a ship, I attack it.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 220](faster-than-light-220-small.webp)
I try to attack the weapons, but I miss.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 221](faster-than-light-221-small.webp)
The shots hit after a second time
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 222](faster-than-light-222-small.webp)
and I teleport my boarding crew in.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 223](faster-than-light-223-small.webp)
I have the upper hand, my Mantis has more fighting experience and the engi deals only half damage to my Slug.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 224](faster-than-light-224-small.webp)
I move into another room and let the Slug take the hits by the engineer while the mantis hits him.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 225](faster-than-light-225-small.webp)
I get a lot of scrap out of it.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 226](faster-than-light-226-small.webp)
I heal my boarding crew
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 227](faster-than-light-227-small.webp)
They repair my hull
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 228](faster-than-light-228-small.webp)
and reveal their store.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 229](faster-than-light-229-small.webp)
I buy the Reverse Ion Field, a 50% chance to negate ion damage is pretty good and the boss uses Ion weapons too.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 230](faster-than-light-230-small.webp)
I jump to the next location with another store, but I don't buy anything.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 231](faster-than-light-231-small.webp)
There is another store which I jump to.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 232](faster-than-light-232-small.webp)
It doesn't offer anything I need right now, so I keep going.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 233](faster-than-light-233-small.webp)
I receive some supplies at the exit beacon.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 234](faster-than-light-234-small.webp)
Looking at the map now, I could've explored one more beacon, but it's too late for that.
![Faster Than Light Walkthrough - Faster Than-Light 235](faster-than-light-235-small.webp)
The next sector I go to is the Rebel Controlled sector because that will give me the option to choose between 2 sectors after that.
