And here we are with part 2:
C TIER: These ships are neither good nor bad. They are simply average.
14. (Lanius A) The weapons leave much to be desired, as an ion stunner and a chain laser aren't exactly very intimidating. However having hacking is great and can help supplement that firepower. The Lanius also give you a lot of sweet blue events especially in Abandoned Sectors. They also can fight off the Lanius that board your ship, which is more important than you might think.
15. (Stealth A) Right off the bat this ship has a glaring weakness. The fact that it starts will no shields, which makes you extremely vulnerable to drones and beam weapons. However the ship has a couple things to help make up for this. First, it has a Stealth System. Two, it starts with level four engines. Three, it has the Titanium Plating augment, which is more useful than I first thought. Lastly it has longed ranged scanners, which will help you avoid empty beacons, avoid environmental hazards, and can be a life saver when your low on health and need to stay away from fights. Finally the weapons, like most ships in the C Tier, they get the job done, but are nothing to write home about.
16. (Mantis A) While the Mantis A has a great start, it very quickly loses it's momentum that it had. While it starts with a great crew, 2 Mantis are not enough to kill the crew of latter enemy ships. It just doesn't have the potential that other boarding ships have. However it does start with a small bomb which is great for taking out the enemies medbay or clone bay. It also has a basic laser to take out Zoltan Shields, but you usually take to much damage for that to be worth it by the time the shields go down.
17. (Federation B) I can't think of something this ship does better than the Federation A. It starts with a worse weapons than the Federation A. Burst Laser II is superior to Duel Lasers and Leto Missiles. The crew on the Fed B is also smaller and worse than the Fed A. Also the Fed B has only a two person medbay. The only thing the Fed B has over the Fed A is one extra point in the artillery beam, which is only a 10 second decrease in charge time. However despite being inferior to the Fed A in every way, it is a average ship by itself thus it is in the C Tier.
Faster Than Light Best Ship Reviews
18. (Zoltan C) This ship has a seriously bad start. Having only two reactor power and relying on a back up battery to power important stuff like your shields and weapons is just a disaster waiting to happen.Plus relying on your beam drone to do damage is no fun. However if you can get past the first couple sectors this thing gains some serious momentum. First off you have 4 Zoltan Crew, which is four free power. Second the Ion Charger is a pretty good weapon and compliments other weapons you pick up well. Lastly you have the all important Zoltan Shield. Overall if you can get past the awkward start for this ship, it will become a powerhouse.
19. (Rock C) A very interesting ship as it starts with a Crystal Crew member, which can help a lot with the unlocking the Crystal Cruiser. It also gives this ship opportunity to do Crystal boarding even if it is only one Crystal Crew member. I usually go the boarding route because the weapons on the Rock C aren't very good. The Heavy Crystal becomes quickly dated and the Swarm missiles are too inaccurate to be reliable.
TIER D: These ships are bad and will need some some skill and luck to beat the game.
20. (Kestrel C) This ship has the lowest scrap value in the game and it really shows. It has no additional systems and it's weapons are not very good either. The crew is also not very good as it is just two humans and a Lanius. The only thing on this ship that has some sort of upgrade to it was the sensors. They start at level two. OH YEA!
21. (Mantis C) This is the most over rated ship in the game in my opinion. Although it has a amazing 4 man teleporter, it has a seriously awkward start. Boarding with a Mantis and a Lanius is so bad as you will be constantly moving them so your Mantis doesn't suffocate. The weapons on this ship are also bad. The stun bomb is completely useless and the lockdown bomb takes to long to charge to be useful. Despite having a 4 man teleporter this ship has too many drawbacks hold it back significantly.
22. (Federation C) Although this ship sucks suicide boarding is fun. The biggest problem with this ship is that it has no weapons, thus you have no way of dealing with medbays or clone bays, unless your Flak Cannon hits it. If your flak cannon doesn't hit it you will have to wait another 50 seconds for it fire again. This ship just is not a good very good boarding ship at all.
23. (Slug A) The concept of this ship is cool. Kill the enemy crew with out boarding the ship. However the concept was executed poorly. The Anti-Bio Beam takes way to long to fire for this ship to be effective at doing that. You will waste so much time trying to kill all the crew on the enemy ship. Time the enemy will use to spam it's missiles and make your life miserable. This ship just takes to long to kill the enemy crew for it to be effective. It is also only has two crew.
24. (Stealth B) I try not to play this ship for the sake of my health. Too many times has my Glaive Beam been seconds away from firing only to be hit by one lucky laser. Too many times have I cloaked yet the enemies missiles still hit me. This ship is just like gambling every time you battle. You hope you get lucky enough to one shot kill them with the Glaive Beam, while praying they don't hit your weapons. This ship also suffers greatly if you don't find another weapon by the time you reach two shielded enemies. This ship has caused me so much rage and misery.
25. (Rock A) The one nice thing about this ship is that by the end sector 1 you will know if your screwed or not. If you haven't found another weapon or bought a teleporter than sector 2 will be your last. This ships obvious weakness is that it only has missile weapons, and even though it starts with 30 you will blow through them fast, which could end your run very quickly.
26. (Slug B) This ship makes no sense. It is a boarding ship, with crap boarders in the slug. It also no medbay or clone bay. It's only way of is the healing bomb, which can miss in the thick of battle causing you so much rage and pain. Also the other weapon on this ship takes missiles so you will run out of missiles fast which mean you can't heal your slug. Yea, this ship sucks.
TIER F: These two ships are awful. They have huge problems that no other ships in the game have to deal with.
27. (Stealth C) The ships in this game that don't have Shield System have Stealth System. However this ship does not. It's defense is an anti-ship drone which I have never seen disable another drone ever and Shield+ drone which gives you one point of Zoltan Shield every couple of seconds. This ship has basically no defenses. 9 out of 10 times I don't even get to the third sector because this ship takes basically everything fired at it. And to make matters worse it doesn't start with sensors, it's crew sucks, and it's weapons sucks. This ship just sucks.
28. (Engi B) I spent a while debating whether the Stealth C or Engi B was the worst ship in the game. I went with Engi B because although the Stealth C has the exclusive problem of not starting with a shield system or stealth system. The Engi B has two exclusive problems. The first is that it is the only ship that starts with one crew member. Although it has some drones to try to fix this problem they are defiantly no replacement. Also you will probably sell those drones to buy some weapon which leads me to the Engi B's second exclusive problem. It is the only ship that can't get through two layers of shields with it's starting weapon loadout. Let that sink in. I have seen ships as soon as sector two with two layers of shields on hard. This ship has brought me even more suffering than all these others ships combined. It's that bad.
Well that concludes my FTL ship rankings. Do you agree or disagree? What ships to I underrate and overrate? What are your ship rankings?

In my FTL career, I've managed to unlock one or two of the other ships in the hangar, but there are still some that are unavailable.
One thing that I've found is that there tends to be a relatively complex series of events that leads to unlocking a new ship type. It seems like for at least some of them, a measure of advance planning and correct event responses is required.
What are all the ships available, and how do I unlock each one?
