One more thing. This forum doesn't like spaces longer than one space, so I put in dashes to correct this. the dashes are just really tabs, but since tabs don't work I put dashes. tabs work on notepad++, and that's how I organize. it makes sense too, something under a line with a tab in front means it is a subset (like subset games?!) of the line above. a double tab under a single tab line means the same thing and so on.
garbage bag c
recycling bin with eagle logo or rebel logo
some other ship
some form of trawler, covered in one yellow olive green tarp
broken on the sides; looks 3d
slightly transparent in the middle put weapons there hm?
charging weps to add to the feel of 3d around the edges
rooms in an 'R' formation
inspirations: 686 apollo
weapon idea: ion flak, (I don't think this will work), fire flak
{these weps don't exactly work because 0 normal dmg for flak = no shield dmg shield piercing is an idea, but may take away from the whole point
sector idea: XR1-145 or whatever it's called;
actually make it a sector with a store just
like the event that precedes/says something about it
FTL: Inverted. All the ships are flipped
incredible waste of time for something that probably won't be worth anything
Hull Blazers joke weapon, you literally fire blazers that do 2x hull dmg
additional rooms floating outside of the central room system of the ship
floating pods extend out loosely attached, [use door linking!]
--> a ship blasted apart but still functions
-------> make one for each type of ship
-------> thin wires (not too thin!) attach the ships
-----{ door linking ! }
utensils like fork, spoon, plate
steak and whatnot
aaffc9 light green, b14b7b rose red, b18b47 gold
steak artillery huge blast of steak, steak cannon
ion blast 1 is 1 power, so why not make ion blast 2 2, then make an ib3
heavily damaged greyish ship in the FTL style looks like tetris block

heal beam, can this be done?
heal/repair weps other than bomb weps? maybe?
Phoenix fire missile weapon that fires multiple w/ shield piercing
high fire chance
Basilisk missile weapon... gargoyle? etc.
mechanical cyborg skull with rooms around eyes like glasses
make the dolphinchemist have a flak I with audio of him saying something
taking from a VOD
bigger enemy ships, like player ship size
try and incorporate/make, a CE weapon/loadout
ship with new ion weapon and extended basic laser, literally extended -----------
supposed to be crappy, without being complete crapola
edit the floor images by gradient filling a camo on like august or splitter --------
and such Wow what a cool idea
vivid burgundy colored cruiser sideways in engi rounded medium sized in
tetromino type shape; call it the sidewinder
zoltan green crystal cruiser boarding only - only zoltans
basic small bomb flak weapon
can charge weps charge different type shots? probably not? may be possible
by tinkering with it...
repair drone ship full of system repair drone
deficient hull repair that doesn't repair as much, maybe use in place of
repairing crew by pairing with maybe drone recovery huh?
can hull repair work with drone recovering .. regardless taking dmg to
hull repair in place of repairing with crew -> reliance on drones
hull repair that needs no power? repairs only 1 hull costs drone part but
doesn't require power
mod that shows all beacon connections... this mod would make the mystery
involved in thinking about jumps and this experience may be RUINED
MAKE A MODDING tutorial with descriptions:
1. What is modding --> diff. between customizing and modding imo
2. regardless everything will be referred everywhere as modding
- intermediate step Notepad++ how to navigate
3. ship creation ---> various facets
4. weapon creation
5. combining files
***NOTE*** this may be a better idea to do with recording video tutorial, but
I tend to stutter and blank out often... maybe do both?
different types of beams in name of polearms naginata, french voulge?
(halberd is swiss), guisarme, trident, corseque, ranseur, partizan, etc.
charge beam wtf? chain beam?
mod that changes all mentions of beam to bae
(beam weapon) ---> (bae weapon)
make an only slug ship
banana flak cannon that spins banana projectiles like flak. artillery? causes stun due to slip? banana peels?
flak wep called boomstick
cruiser with pilot at bottom then weapons in front and spread out -->
stealth A piloting at door control/cloaking
overhaul that focuses on how the federation is evil with options that allow you to pillage/pummel civilian and other ships in distress, etc.
slow ion beam that does 2 ion damage
lion beam that is an ion beam but looks like lion or L-ion hmm
spasmodic anti-bio beam rapid fire artillery. chain maybe? --> rapid fire randomness with slow time to warm up like chain vulcan except an anti-bio beam version. probably only makes sense with artillery
dune-esque Full Conversion
missile where explosion image is more like: implosion | acid missile gets absorbed into enemy ship
fire beam? more powerful = higher fire chance? would make sense, no?
steak cruisers in diff. flavors that are taken too literally and thereby extreme
------over done.............completely brown
---------since baked, yes, baked, rocky and layout scattered (w/ door links) or too organized lines
-------------scattered will make it Strange To Navigate or too organized will become overly complicated with barely any doors, long rooms,
-------------possibly even door links so it will be a maze with long rooms
------rotten/moldy/poisoned..........green
-------------rotten, infested with mantis, falling apart, so disorder in rooms
-------------moldy, infested with slugs, mind control, bio sludge weapon, IDEA! slugs adjacent to empty/unused/useless rooms to make no use
-------------of benefit of slugs adjacency. no sensors absolutely
------solid gold............solid gold
-------------hardened gold, hard to move around, overclocked weapons paired with deficient ship that just looks nice, no other benefit maybe scrap
-------------recovery arm in form of "Luxury/Aesthetic Bonus" -- different multiplier 1.05x maybe. lore is that ships will recognize your richesse
-------------and set aside an easy to find bounty so that, you, as rich and wealthy don't do anything to them and/or their family etc.
------blue rare.............blue, raw on inside, dark blue but crispy
-------------raw on inside so a cruiser that is too raw relying on raw power and is a negative because of lack of synergy in terms of systems,
-------------(weapons), crew, and layout; brute force, layout consists of core systems grouped together (combat) and other support systems and the
-------------like are far/separated from the core. therefore layout is core systems in bulky manner spreading out to outlying support systems and
-------------other empty rooms and airlocks. airlocks are far away from core systems bulk.
------gray..................just gray, boring, dull, gray
-------------cruiser that reflects this dreariness. dull your opponents away by putting them to sleep in form of stun weapons. if only there was an
-------------augment that reduces crew speed due to lack of morale. takes away scrap to get rid of it. alas. layout of ship is not particularly
-------------good or interesting. rooms shelf diagonally from top left to bottom right. these diagonal rows are stacked and connected by door links
------frozen................ice blue
-------------crystal crew since ice and holograms (don't know how to incorporate) represent fragility. fragmented layout and ice weapons including
-------------but not limited to shard type weapons (crystal) and shiva type weapons. can incorporate stun to represent freezing so blue weapons with
-------------high stun chance, maybe shard in nature (freezing shards!, stun shards! {yellow maybe, hey another idea keeps on blooming -- blooming!
-------------flower type weaponry, man, ideas just keep flowing --- water type weapons, shard makes sense for ice. if only there could be negative
-------------fire chance (puts out fires on enemy ship, Creates Flooding! what an idea!). blue weapons look regal with blue, red, green charge
-------------burst laser to commemorate 25th anniv' GT type thing --> blue, with red ribbons/flair. so blue ice weapons, piercing maybe and med
-------------breach chance. blue red regality, increased cost, power efficiency, symbols of a forgotten EMPIRE, electromagnetic PIRE -> emPire or
-------------emPIRE weapon. huh, interesting. so ice weapons, um, increased durability, have solid power. Solid. MGS crossover incoming
-------------*new section below somewhere. don't know what else to say about blue ice weapons. looks like Shiva from CE or something. I like the
-------------Hydra/Ogre missile battery but they seem low in power, so maybe an artillery version of those. uses or doesn't use one missile.
-------------Is a heavy battery meaning it has more damage in each missile making it suitable for artillery but has long recharge time
-------------maybe make a set in stone recharge time limit that is separate from other artillery. is the only one that can only have slow recharge
-------------or rather, has a limit to increasing recharge but just for itself. looks like a heavy battery in appearance mounted to side of ship
-------------where it can be seen unlike vanilla fed laser artillery weapon. so yeah, ice weapons are solid and feel good to use, but have
-------------downsides/ must have downsides in that they are crystalline/shardlike in/by nature. (Which one is it? 'in' or 'by'?? How to tell??)
-------------Fire Suppression packaged as "Low Temperature" or "Cold Thermostat" or "Heat Exhaust"(since hot outside cold inside) or "Space Life"
-------------(since must be cold in space) because of ice cold/ frozen solid ship
Durability anyone?! extended to include repairing weapons after durability wears out. Package this maybe as "Warranty". maybe only some weaponry goes
bad but is really effective. e.g. corrupt dragon/barrows armor in rs compared to regular armor.
Note: see reddit comment about see the repairs in ships, paint jobs, ships with different levels --- quarters due to sleep. sleep deprivation results
in worsened abilites by crew. < 100% multiplier if sleep deprived.
the ftl soundtrack from in-game is lets creativity flow. good job guys! can be applied to coding, thinking, art etc.
use this idea to make a class of pirate ships specifically, not bound by a particular race! ideas, ideas
mechanical/mechanized class of ships and maybe also another set of ships that are steampunk but thing to keep in mind, reason for this sentence is the
ship greebles being gears and also loose wires protruding as well as gears in the gibs.
mechanical/cyborg pirate ships. that would be cool. holograms would make sense lore wise as well as lanius and one or two crew members that are usually
pirates
one more thing, redesign crew skins with pirate affiliation/wear/clothing/accessories to make crew look like space pirates. this would make enemies look
like pirates too though. PIRATE CONVERSION MOD. based solely upon pirates. pirates rule the galaxy. pirate flagship. use sm Polish kit's pirate stronghold
as source of encouragement/inspiration. pirate quests to unlock other pirate cruisers with similar but different looks. all in all total conversion to piracy
and subsequently/therefore pirates. pirate looking weapons including cannons, gatling laser (not like vulcan, different appearance), rotating/rotary laser
that is reminiscient of that strange looking Hull Blazer Weapon. how to solve problem of empty weapon? how does it work when you have a base ship mod with
weapons and then is somehow overwritten by others! ah I see! overwritten... How exactly does the AWM Roulette thing work anyways
pirates. change descriptions of things. mod that changes all language to pirate speak/lingo
MGS conversion. What the heck would this even look like? brainstorming at its finest.
old fashioned spying/espionage battles conversion
look at existing combos of crew. see which ones aren't used. maybe list them here?
green camouflage simo-h with mgs stuff, c box wtf? solid snake crew member, etc.
idea for ftl 2/otherspace. oxygen refill rate/oxygen powered or not affects no o2 health drain rate.
seemingly OP ship with low engines 10 hull
selling clones since you can reclone. maybe cargo of bodies. weird stuff and has a diminishing effect on
crew morale or crew may leave if you sell it or even do it. similar to Captain's Edition where crew may leave
if you do something that alienates your crew and stuff...
like pulsar, except with stun element, so like a stun cloud or something. greenish yellow haze
ship with extremely OP >4 power weapon, but very bad defenses, layout, power use so maybe
backup battery/emergency power. need some defense though.
or Maybe it has good defenses but little power so reliance on backup battery
-----or weapons has ((weapon power amt) + 2) to give dmg buffer
rebel ship with lanius "knifes" impaled in it. "knifes" from a small lanius ship
pasta conversion. meatball cannon, pasta flak, etc.
FTL: Return of the Rowbits Lanius conversion. Lanius story mode
WarlockJa: Can you incapacitate the ship and take the crew as prisoners?
flak 3. 'nuff said
ship with clonebay acting as bridge between two halves of the ship. clonebay pod blocks door to one half of the ship. crew all situated to start
on side of ship with door blocked by pod and must die to get to the other half. healing burst for crew on starting side. must be essential systems
on both halves of the ship
ship that is a cage and looks like a lobster cage from runescape
ship that can tank damage but is limited to weapons that are good for novelty and have one cool feature that helps but that's it
conversion that gives you gradually less and less scrap rather than more and more scrap. may be possible by giving boost to early sectors
and negative boost (is this possible??) to later sectors
missile weapon that doesn't use missile and doesn't do damage, but has system dmg and high breach or fire chance
-------------stun missiles??!
relataler, palindrome ship
always full repair challenge. must go to store if you see one, unless you are at full hull.
if you cannot afford full repair, you cannot repair one hull at a time (revisit a store allowed?)
lanius ship with medbay not clonebay
ftl 2. set a patrol path for a crew member
-------------make event changes particular to a specific ship
long thin chameleon ship with head facing left, sideways view
------various colors correspond to environment, so environment is going to be taken to mean crew type/race ;
-------------engi themed chameleon
-------------crystal themed
-------------zoltan themed -- however not traditional zoltan ship, but with vibrant colors like the Crystal NRG
out of control defense drone
-------------flies extremely fast (speed set to > 10. is this possible? what is the max?)
MGS cardboard box ship. shows the intricacies of cardboard boxes that were never revealed to Kaz
ftl weapon that is literally the 'Bang' thing the joker uses
ftl mystery machine weapon that plays sound of the gang saying things like Zoinks or velma: jenkies!
ftl 2 - gas leak. air fills with poisonous gas and you have to fix something
like the federation database in roulette mode sM Polish Kit, but for other races so the text reflects their image of the certain aspects
------------what's more is that they may include other aspects that apply to only them really and not mean anything to the player and
------------conversely not have some aspects that mean stuff to the player that don't mean anything to the particular race
-------------------one such feature could be stuff about the federation. the federation database doesn't say anything about itself, so other races would
-------------------and conversely (again), other races wouldn't talk about themselves. or would they? depends on the race. then again federation isn't a race
-------------------so maybe particular groups then? such as pirates, rebels, zoltan border police, etc.
weapon like the high-yield ares missile launcher. fires an ungodly amount of missiles in one volley (one missile, so maybe a nano-missile battery. no
that has already been made -- the hydra. maybe if it only stunned? is stun only for ion? missiles can also stun.
------------1. stun battery. no shield piercing. ion weapon. cripples enemy defenses and stuns crew. doesn't do much else.
------------2. fire machine. this is an artillery that has 5 shield piercing like other missiles. fires 7 (lucky number 7) missiles with high fire chance.
------------3. stunner gunner. this is also an artillery but it has 2 shield piercing and is very similar to the light laser. it fires a spew (hah! vague,
---------------just the way I like it) of light lasers that only stun. stun can be applied to non ion-weapons, no?
------------4. high fivre (fibre typo, eh?). launches and serves the enemy a dish containing high fivre -- five-fire. this weapon has a high fire chance and
---------------variants:
--------------------------a. long charge time and delivers a massive shot of fivre. 5 system damage or (5 x 15) (or 5 x 20?) crew damage. takes ages to reload, but
-----------------------------when it does charge up, it delivers a blast! high fire chance indeed.
--------------------------b. a 5-course meal.
------------------------------i. 5 spread out shots happening at the same time so it's an artillery? doesn't have to be. remember! it can have a massive radius
----------------------------------problem with this is that some shots might even target the enemy ship's rooms.
------------------------------ii. a charge-type weapon that loads 5 shots, one at a time. area-of-effect (radius-type) makes sense for this weapon, but not for
---------------------------weapon i. think of how the charge flak works.
------------5. big mac. massive dose of power that repairs system damage but breaches. it seems to heal, but it hurts indeed.
