When traveling to the next sector in FTL, does your choice make much of a difference? It seems that you fight slightly different ships, but the difficulty and equipment you find doesn't seem to very. And, of course, Nebulas seem more Nebulous.
Are green sectors less dangerous than red? Are there certain encounters that are more common in an Engi sector over a Rock sector?
Best Answer
Different areas feature different events, encounters and nodes.
Although it's randomized, it doesn't take a load of thought to know what you'll find. Zoltan sector = loads of Zoltan = easy to teleport in and slay em. Rock sector = loads of stoners = teleport in, kite them around the ship, breaking their systems (they're too slow to ketchup)
TL;DR: Yes, there is a differense between regions, and red regions have more hostile encounters than green ones.
