These are some seriously amazing weapons, that aren't too op in the sense that you won't always get them, but work amazingly!


Haha, yeh XD Probably should've mentioned that letting the Lanius deconstruct your hull does 20 hull damage....... Any way, I'm glad you like them :D

Of course you can! Let me know if you do, so I can have a go with whatever it is you create :)

I would like to make the mantis cannon only available through a custom event, which only happens in mantis sectors and involves fighting a powerful mantis ship.
Any pointers would be great, I've had a poke around the data files and google but can't work it out :L
Thanks in advance.

If you still need help on this, just give the weapon a rarity of 0 and have that specific event give you it (It's what the Zolt unlock quest is like, if I recall...)

Cool. If I can modify unlock events, then I will probably make all the cruisers various Federation styled ships. Dunno what I would replace the Shrike with... is it possible to have an artillery have different effects at different levels? Like, lvl1 - 3 damage, lvl2 - 3 ion damage, lvl3 - 100% breach chance, and so on?

Sadly, nope. The benefits of leveling up a system are hardcoded, and for artillery it's reduced cooldown.

:( Aww... I wanted to make a ship unable to have weapons have twin artilleries that could be configured like that...

Does this work properly with Captain's Edition? Even the events?

The weapons certainly work and appear in shops, although all the weapons from CE make them quite rare. As for the events, I'm not entirely sure. I don't see why they shouldn't work but personally I haven't found one yet whilst playing with CE.

EDIT: I uploaded a no event version which adds them to shops, just in case ;)

Certainly high quality sprites.. though I just shot through a zoltan shielded ship with the stingray flak cannon. Is that supposed to happen?

EDIT: Pardon the necro

Thanks! It's been a while but as far as I remember it's not supposed to. It could be a mod conflict or a random one off glitch. However I havent done any modding for years and cannot remember how, so I'm afraid I won't be fixing it if it is a glitch with my mod.
