[SHIPS][WEAPONS][VANILLA-LIKE] Type D/E/F Mod

[Mr-Kheese]

This mod contains 28 new ship layouts, complete with custom weapons, art, and lore.

Main Features:
-New, interesting, and unique starting layouts.
-Variety in difficulty.
-Lots of new equipment.
-Vanilla-adjacent design.
-Polished custom art.

My goal when designing this mod was to create new, fun starting ship loadouts different enough from the base game, while still maintaining a good amount of vanilla gameplay feel. After spending way too much time making this mod, (playtesting alone has added 200 hours to my total FTL steam playtime,) I think I have achieved this goal quite well and I would love if you gave it a try! So if you're looking for some new spice for your FTL runs, without having to climb the steep learning curve of other overhaul mods, then this is the mod for you. I hope everyone has a fun time playing the mod! I would love to hear your thoughts on it, do leave a reply!

Hey everyone! I think this is probably going to be the last update for this mod. I feel like I've reached the point where every ship has a fully realized, cool and interesting design, is fairly balanced to play, and has every custom texture and animation as polished as it's going to get. It's been a lot of fun and hard work making this, I hope everyone continues to enjoy the mod!

Thanks to everyone who has played it so far, I hope you all had a fun time. And to everyone who plays it in the future, I hope you have a good time as well
