Just wait until all you FTLers get the stealth ship unlocked. It is a whole new level of helplessness and ineptitude.... no shield to start, two weak lasers, and super quick duration cloaking with like a 25 second recharge = instadeath against anything with a shield, a drone, and actually any other armament at all. I have lost three games in a row to the first ship I came up against in normal mode.
It's horrible...
