Rewatching this, "Apparently (Repair Bomb) used to repair Zoltan Shields" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard about ftl

All the missiles take a big hit because you have a 100% chance of facing a defense drone on the flagship.

I absolutely love the Fire Beam. It completely occupies an enemy crew with just one swoop and start a ton of fires to damage and keep systems down. It's a fun weapon. But I only keep it longer on 4 slot ships or when I already have a really good shield/hull damage setup.

Is there anything worse than rolling up to a store with a grip of scrap and when you click it's: Stun Bomb, Ion Bomb & Healing Burst? Sad trombone.

Burst Laser II is my fav weapons. If you ever get two of those bad boys in a run, you are set.

Just had a funny run with the Fed A - 2x Burst Laser 2s, Fire Beam and Fire Bomb, 2x auto reloaders and picked up pre igniter in one of the last sectors. Boarding crew sat patiently waiting till the enemy was nice and crispy for most of the run. Only 6 shots but devastating against flagship regardless. Burn the world down! Only realized I left the lvl4 artillery beam depowered the whole time after 2nd stage 😅

I'm a big fan of the Artemis Missile. All three ships that have it have 4 weapon slots. And It's 1 power requirement makes it easy to slot in to whatever your current weapon loadout is at any stage of the game when you don't yet have the money to bring your most awesome weapons online. That low cost also allows keeping it on standby as one of your four options. If your weapon system gets totally nailed early in a fight, you can pivot your strategy to turning on the Artemis and hopefully turn around that situation cleaner than if you had waited for repairs. It's a sort of safety net that I don't think you get out of other missiles and bombs, or other 1 Power weapons. It's also pretty handy on phases 1 and 3 of flagship if you want to just keep individual weapons from ever firing.

Ion bomb would be great as a support weapon if it were faster. 4 ion damage will guaranteed strip 2 shield layers on the spot, and that's good enough as a general 1 power weapon option...if that were in the 12-15s range, it would be used just to get first volley through (and probably 2nd w/o using another missile, since it's 20s to clear the ion damage and most good weapons are faster where that's enough even with their travel time factored). Instead, it's so slow that it's more or less unusable. At 15s or less, I'd move it all the way up to good, but as it is in the game you put it where I'd put it. Ions in general are perfectly serviceable if you have a lot, but it's rough to actually have that come up as a practical build. When using them with other weapons, they're a lot more hit or miss. Getting a hit into enemy weapons after damage is useful, but hard to time in some builds. Charge is one that can work with non-ion weapons at reasonable power cost, and for non-modded FTL is the main reasonable ion weapon to use generally. Chain ion gets a special mention as the rare weapon that's obviously worse than vulcan (which you're overrating despite calling weak!), impressive in one sense of the word. Overall, I'd place the ion weapons exactly as you have them lol.

Great list, can’t disagree with any of your placements aside from minor nitpicks - mainly I think you undervalue ion weapons somewhat.

Seems on point for me. Is the Heavy Crystal 2 really that bad? Sure it's worse than Heavy 2 or Hull 2, but it seems like it could do a reasonable impression if you have nothing else. 4 damage and breach kinda deletes a system. I don't have any experience with it though, so I'll take your word for it. Edit: You know what just after commenting I remembered that it gets shot down by Defense Drones. I agree now, it's trash.

Halberd should be Top tier. It's on par with BLII and Flak I.

ion weapons with ANY other weapons are GREAT then why is it in bad tier?

You are mistaken about how long it takes to get Vulcan online. By sector 2 it’s the only weapon you need for 6 sectors.

Ракетница "Рой" должна быть намного выше в этом списке. Возможность быстро ударить боеголовкой по вражескому оружейному отсеку очень помогает во многих ситуациях. Накопительные бластеры полный мусор, но это наверное из-за того, что они не сочетаются с моим стилем игры. Флак 2 как по мне тоже заслуживает большего (я любитель хламомётов). Ионное оружие хорошо, если наводить его на кислородный отсек, тем самым убивая вражескую команду

Kinda don't like the "not a weapon" and "crew killer" sections. I feel like they should still be ranked along with the rest

This list threw me for a loop because ions are a lot better in multiverse and it's what I'm used to
