[MOD] Weapons of Mass Distraction v0.7

[VanguardOfValor]

I think "Hades Missiles" or "Titan Missiles" could be a good name for the Hull Smashers.

And maybe "Hydra Missiles" for the rapidfires? Going for the whole "multiple heads attack quickly" thing.

EDIT: Turns out you already used Hades for the Hull Smasher missiles? Guess I should have looked earlier.

[Ruko]

no, I used Hades missiles for my anti-crew missiles
I like Titan and Hydra however!

I usually take a more military bent with my weapon names, but these resources might help you:

World missiles by name
United States missiles by name

There's some great stuff in here. "Skeeter", "Tern", "Green Flash", "Shillelagh", "Falconer".

The thing is, all of the missiles that are already in the game are named after things from greek mythology, so if you use something else for custom missiles, they don't really fit in with the rest of the scheme.

I imagine people could also make mods that just rename everything to other schemes... I kind of like the mythological angle, though.

See if you can work Kronos in there, somewhere. He's kinda the OG of the greek mythological, uh, mythos.

Still on my list of things to do:

-Add new weapons to some enemy ships
-Completely overhaul the flagship battles... hopefully
-Add an event which awards the nuke
-Find a way to tweak weapon appearances.. and I'm terrible with art-related things. At the very least I want my two Ion beams to be blue instead of red, both weapon and laser.

Good luck with those... I don't think it's possible to make the ion beams blue, much though we'd like to. (Similarly the Anti-Bio Beam should be green, but I don't think we can do that either.) It's just about possible that with disassembly and sufficient hacking of the raw code, you could work it, but I suspect the best you'll be able to do is make all beams green or blue.

Similarly, the flagship battles aren't anywhere near as scriptable as you'd like. We can change the weapons the flagship has, and its layout or ship design, but not its special attacks or how it does its running away trick or anything like that.

You should replace the anti-bio beam drone with a fire beam drone.

[BrenTenkage]

You should replace the anti-bio beam drone with a fire beam drone.

I can agree to that one

Hey all, I don't know if this thread is still living, but I'm having troubles with the mod. For whatever reason the Drill Beam isn't causing hull breaches. It fires but does precisely dick. Any help?

For whatever reason, no one can get breach beams to actually work. It isn't just this mod.
