What are your FTL unpopular opinions?

For me it’s that I don’t think immediately upgrading shields to L4 is always the move. I’ve had so many runs where there’s a decent weapon in sector 1 that I can’t afford because I upgraded shields first thing. You can upgrade your ship anytime, but weapons can be super hard to find sometimes.

That being said I don’t necessarily get the weapon online before upgrading shields, if I make it out of sector 1 with an unpowered new weapon and L4 shields I’m happy.

(I mostly play fed cruiser on easy so I’m sure this isn’t universal).

What opinions do you have that you think many would disagree with?
