Spoiler-free tips for unlocking ships?

Hi dudes/dudettes. Basically my topic says it all: I'm avoiding reading spoilers and that great ship guide posted (okay I a admit quickly glanced at it when no one was watching) but I'm really hoping to unlock some ships this week.

I was wondering if anyone could offer me any spoiler-free tips on stuff I should do or have to improve my chances; or really general tips. I take it I should *always* opt for blue options over regular options in the text, and that I should always go to the homeworld sectors when possible. Is there any particular equipment that is more useful for unlocking ships more often, such as improved sensors or a scrap recovery arm or anything?

HGuheerflkpfft! [that's Mantis for 'Thanks!'] :D

Well improved sensors will help you spot empty nodes.

You can read the mouseover text on the ships. There's some hints on there.

Not really sure what else to tell ya.I was watching the streams so have most of the unlocks spoiled for me, haha.

Ok right on thanks :) Enough tips to help for sure. So we talking upgrade med bay I presume? I would not have suspected that. Cool. Also usually don't go for the scanner but maybe I'll prioritize it now. I thought the mouse over ships with the scanner was always the same message. Good stuff.

That's not what he meant by mousing over ships. in the hangar press the "list" button and then moueover the ships there.
