Repair skill is indeed a very good point.
While reading on the subject of Wookies (BTW, I'm not alone in assuming their heightened speed) I've stumbled on several instances of Klingon vs Wookiee, err... weaponless... (to avoid the pun). Nice read.

Not going to argue, haven't seen it for ages. Just the way I remembered it.
Still, as hard hitters that really shouldn't be immune to fire, Mantis fits better. :p

Played the mod several times, won each one of them on normal, so it's probably somewhat overpowered. It played very similar to the RedTail, tiny bit harder in early game due to longer charge on 4x barrage and on later game due to less weapon slots, but still kind of easy ship.

Will check it out!
The idea was used in the awesome conversion mod "Descent into darkness" and I remember seeing it in some more mods too.

I am not sure this will work, but I'd suggest after reinstalling FTL cleanly, D/L clean version of GMM. I think it has the DescentIntoDarkness mod integrated into his "clean" database. In addition, it might be worth to move the mods you don't want to use currently into different folder. Go...

You will have to rely on attacking drones only, having to rely exclusively on two expencive and scarce con...

Greetings! Enjoying the mod very much! Had several issues with the game crushing. It produces the same type of error - Microoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. In the src/rapidxml/rapidxml.hpp line xxxxx* expression: text The lines are different, this time it was 1383, previous times were different, but...

This ship sounds fairly overpowered...

I have downloaded and played the mod several days ago, before the thread suddenly disappeared...
It feels somewhat easy, bit easier than the RedTail ship, but not very overpowered.
Nice ship overall.

Yes, work is being done.
