FTL: The Arcadian War Wants Your Events!

Postby Anthonest » Tue May 27, 2014 5:06 am

Im having some trouble coming up with events for our mod and we would like your input on it. Your event ideas should contain Arcadian War lore and Federation lore. Your can find the mod development and lore here.

http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=24551

Also something important to remember. Sides are SWITCHED. As in Engi and Zoltan's are enemies, the Arcadians consist of mostly humans so those can be either/or. Please have the events meet these requirements.

-Lore friendly
-Balanced
-Match regular FTL tone.
-Written as usable xml.append code, including sub-events, lists and ship events if necessary

So I'm confused, do you want me to post a .xml file with the quest?

Just an Idea for a Quest, there are 2 ships battling, an offensive arcadian and a federation peace maker, both ships are at the urge of destruction. When you go and request if the arcadian ship needs help, the arcadian reacts negatively and says "you are far too weak to handle this, leave at once" while the federation ship begs for mercy, saying he never intended of any harm to be caused.

The event allows you to follow a request from a lower rank in command and leave, deffend your ally by destroying the federation ship, or show sympothy for the federation ship and attack the arcadian ship.

Sorry about not having the .xml or whatever it is, I'm not good at modding and never made a custom event mod.

How about this

you jump to find a strange vessel that appears to be a hybrid of Arcadian and federation technology

1 hail them

2 do a scan of the ship then hail them

3 do a detailed scan then hail them (blue event needs sensors level two)

after doing a scan 4 you attempt to scan the hybrids weapons and then find yourself being scanned! then you detect multiple weapon locks! ( fight a extremely hard ship)

after battling 5 after a finishing blow the hybrid ship explodes along with all the supplies aboard nothing is left. then you see a small drone drone escape though a remaining section of the ship! ( plus one random drone)

after doing a detailed scan 6 after doing a detailed scan you are surprised to see that the ship has no reactor debris filters and when it targets your ship you fire and after the smoke clears you see half of the ship destroyed! ( fight a much weaker ship)

after hailing them 7 after hailing the vessel you find that they are offering a strange trade: one fire drone. one system repair drone. and a crew member saying that if you do not comply they will "blow your ship into space dust"

8 agree ( fifty percent chance they take your stuff and attack. and fifty percent chance they offer to trade for a super drone that is a tenth the size of a normal ship for 100 scrap ( the super drone would fire one basic laser shot a second but needs NINE power))

9 why would i ever trade so many resources for nothing? CHARGE THE CANONS! ( ninety percent chance they attack you ten percent chance they offer 5 fuel and to open a shop)

after defeating them with boarding 10 with all the crew dead you climb aboard their ship and find that there is a hybrid weapon reactor you take the reactor and install it on your ship ( you get a hybrid reactor witch is a modified version of the automated re-loader but makes the weapons charge TWICE as fast)

this might be a little OP but hey the chances are low and it is a TOUGH battle! :lol:
You cannot defeat the metal. The metal will live on.
