The 'Zoltan' are allies of the 'Engi'. Their innate energy can power ship systems. With the majority of their bodies composed of pure, harnessable energy, the Zoltan are ambivalent towards the Galactic Federation. Whilst a deeply officious and obtuse …

When he sees you have emerged victorious, the Zoltan wise man enters a rage. Rifts threaten to tear space apart until, instead, the Zoltan implodes, sending a blast wave of scrap and salvage dragged here from distant worlds in your direction.

See the Unarmed Zoltan Transport. Alternatively, defeat The Rebel Flagship with the Federation Cruiser. "This ship starts with a weakened Shield system and must rely on its Zoltan shield." "The designer of this ship was not willing to spend the money for a decent reactor. Instead it relies on its Zoltan crew and Backup Battery."

2014年7月31日 · The Zoltan shield grants a nice advantage against the flagship – blocking the hacking unit, boarding drone and mind control at the start, giving you a strategic upper hand. But that said, it will barely last, so upgraded engines and 4 shields are, as always, a must

2014年4月22日 · The Zoltan ships are your best bet if you want a full complement of weapons, drones or subsystems, thanks to the jump-start from those three free ion-proof reactor upgrades (AKA your starting crew).

Zoltan shield is good protection in most fights, the Halberd never misses, and the Leto is a backup if the Halberd goes down. In most fights you’ll take no damage. Therefore it’s tempting to hoard scrap and maximise the chance to buy offence. Hacking is especially good.

Zoltan Shield provides strong defence in most fights, and you kill early enemies quickly. Therefore delay shield upgrades and save scrap for a weapon. Power constraints also make shields-4 less immediately useful, though still very good.

2016年3月27日 · All zoltan ships have one serious advantage, the zoltan shield. You should generally try to conserve the shield as much as possible and it would be wise to invest in engines and cloaking to take advantage of the shield as long as possible. Zoltan ships always carry a beam weapon of some sort and two of the ships also use ions.

Once you have a regular shield, your Zoltan Shield and fantastic weapons make sectors 1 and 2 very safe. Consider delaying shields upgrades, to afford a weapon or hacking. Against one shield, you can fire both ions immediately at weapons (or drones), and the Pike Beam will still do full damage before the shield comes up.

Zoltan B is widely regarded as the most powerful of the three and probably one of the top 4-5 ships in the game. C also starts with an amazing weapon. Adding to it should be fairly trivial if you can survive a sector or two.
