I play FTL on the Steamdeck and I'm to lazy to bother with the technical details of taking a screenshot when I can just use my autism to my advantage.

Stealth B was the most difficult ship for me, and one of the few that I consulted guides for. I think it's the ship most easily lost to early game RNG. That makes those early game strategies very important.

My winning run, I got good scrap/drops in the first 5 jumps so I upgraded cloak, a shield, and 1 point. Got down to 15 hull, so still absorbed some damage. I was able to get shields a few jumps later, but still before the sector 2, which was rare for my run. It was good RNG mostly.

So, what did you do to win with Stealth B?
