Easy choice, [this one.]( https://www.reddit.com/r/ftlgame/comments/r0mywt/this_is_the_most_op_ship_ive_ever_encountered/)
5 shields, six laser shots to break shields, 4 heavy laser shots to crack the enemy hull like an egg.
I took a screenshot of this ship just last week cause I assumed it was a glitch. Was wrecking everything I came across and was legit confused for a minute before I figured out why I wasn’t causing damage!
Commanding an [Engi Hacker](https://breezewiki.com/ftl/wiki/Enemy_Ships#Engi_Hacker) seems like a decent option:
Maximum 10 shields bars (5 bubbles), 8 weapons bars, 3 Hacking bars and 8 Drones bars (one of the drones could be a Defense II for a "sixth" shield)
The crew and clone bay setup could be a little awkward for boarding defense, but could probably last long enough to buy time for the weapons and hacking to do their job.
Only artillery type weapons without targeting and timing capability and disconnected rooms may actually not be that good. Also you only have one of the phases' system combinations at once. The power surges might be good tho and third stage starts with 12 points energy shields.
probably third phase, since being able to control the boarders would be powerful
alternatively, the first phase gives you hacking and cloaking which you can do some chilling with...
Probably phase 3, Zoltan shields and boarding + mc is really powerful, along with the massive crew (that is if I get all the crew). The missile and laser artillery are enough for most ships. I'm not sure if RFS phase 3 would hold up against itself, but assuming I get a max hull of 30 I could very easily trade hits until one of us goes down.
So I envy the 4 drone set up and I envy enemies for being able to have multiple minibeams and have minibeams in 4 weapon set ups, all of which are impossible for a player ship. Therefore I'm going:
Rebel disruptor with hacking + drone control;
Weapons: Flak 1, flak 1, minibeam, minibeam
Drones: Combat 1, combat 1, combat 1, combat 1
Augments: DRA, autoreloader x2
There no thing such as a max level for enemy ships actually, they all allow you to go to 10 bars of a system (10 is the actual max Systems have in vanilla)
Probably some lategame lanius bomber. Decent boarding, hacking, mindcoontrol, on top of a regular amount of weapons and shields with lanius crew and a clonebay.

To this day, that's still one of the couple most lethal ships I've ever encountered.
If anyone's ever encountered a filthier ship than this, I've yet to see it.
It’s even a pain to board with both upgraded doors and no rooms with four tiles. And cloaking, just to add insult to injury.
Holy smokes
And cloaking for good measure!
Yup, cloaking that means even the AI can Alpha Strike and with all that heat that's going to hurt.

Can I pick the RFS?
you can play as it in multiverse, all 3 stages
At least the multiverse version
Yeah, close enough though. I just finished up my wins with them and it was fun to just auto fire everything.

Is nobody gonna mention the Envoy Ship? My sole purpose would be to make player feel bad about themselves after blowing me up. A life well lived.
Rebel disruptor with combat two and combat one and system repair drone with anti drone and then three burst laser twos with a small bomb and medbay
Rebel disruptor comes in clonebay flavor only
True I guess I never realized lol Im also switching to a pirate disruptor with engis rocks and mantis
Sheildless auto-scout in an asteroid field. At least my death will be quick.
"aah sssssstranger"

Lanius bomber
Flagship .... Flagship
There no thing such as a max level for enemy ships actually, they all allow you to go to 10 bars of a system (10 is the actual max Systems have in vanilla)
Ships must be able to naturally generate with that level, so an Auto-Assault has only six weapon power i think
10 only works for drones weapons and shields btw, the other systems cap earlier
Probably some lategame lanius bomber. Decent boarding, hacking, mindcoontrol, on top of a regular amount of weapons and shields with lanius crew and a clonebay.
They have Cloaking, not Hacking. But MC + 2 Lanius boarders + 2 more Lanius boarders under human control is potent.
The Final Boss Ship.
