Do you find that you want to unlock all the ships but FTL is just too hard?
Do you want the game to be possible to complete but still have a bit of a challenge on the way?
Well, look no further, as I'm developing a mod that will hopefully give easier starts for all the ships! (I'm looking at you, Rock type B)
Currently includes:
A change to the Kestrel- Renamed the Falcon, it starts with 3 fully original custom weapons, all of which are more buffed than the vanilla ones. Not all textures finished.
Screenshots:

The textures highlighted are the ones currently used.

To-do:
Finish the Falcon mod by rounding up the custom images and projectiles, and balancing where necessary
Do all the other ships!

Complete changelist and weapon specs:

Removed default missile on the Kestrel
Added AS Laser- Pierces 5 shields for 2 damage
Added B. Laser- Pierces 1 shield for 1 damage and high breach chance
Added AS Laser 2- Fires 5 shots that do not pierce shields, deals 1 ion damage and 0 normal damage per laser
Renamed the Kestrel to the Falcon
Feedback, bug reports, suggestions and suchlike would be very much appreciated!
