Seems the file got corrupted on the server or something.
New download link added to the first post.
Fun fact: it's had almost 3500 downloads so far ;)

Pretty cool. Somewhat weaker than standard ships; early game advantage with Ultra cannon is amazing. If it did more damage it would scale well into late game.

Ultracannon helps you farm scrap early game though, <3 depopulation.

The Ultra Cannon is broken. Unlimited Breach Bombs last me the entire run, and trivializes any Auto-Scouts you might encounter.

In my two runs that I've played with it, the fact it does only 1 damage and seems to have a VERY high miss rate makes it fall off.

But yeah, sectors 1-3, I always get the maximum amount of scrap per battle thanks to its ability to wipe out crews cleanly without spending missiles.

Is there any difference between choosing the "vigilante justice" option versus the "lawful justice" option ("I will deal with them. Personally." versus "They will answer for their crimes in accordance with the law.") or is that just RPish flavor text? Cuz I haven't really noticed much of a difference.

How do you install this into gmm. There is no .ftl file. All other mods I use just have an ftl file so how do I install this? someone please help.

How is this NOT an FTL file???
Oh, .ftl are actually renamed .zip, so you might have accidently extracted the files.

That's what I tried at first but then that didn't work so I just put the whole zip in the mods folder and it didn't show up in the list when I started GMM. I know for the mass effect mod that zip just has a .ftl file (which I just drag into the GMM mods folder) and a text file. But this mod is different so I have no idea how to do this. An installation video would be a big help.

Not to sound too snarky here, but I'm going to go ahead and call the ability to download and install an .ftl file a skill check. If you fail it, you don't get to experience the mod.
Seriously, it's no different to any other mod out there in that respect. Read the original post for other compatibility notes.

Unrelated fact: hit 6k downloads last week. Not too shabby.
