I am notoriously unlucky XD Finally got it to work, but yeah, I've done it at least 5-6 times over about 3 playthroughs and it failed every time XD I think I got like, 3 different events from it failing and the AIs attacking.Sleeper Service wrote:There is a 1 in 8 chance that AIs run amok. You can calculate the probability of this failing happening six consecutive time... looks like you are extremely unlucky.

Hey Sleeper, I'm playing CE Infinite on 1.5.4 and I realised that buying artillery in the stores seems to NEVER work. Are there any mods outside of CE I need to install?

So I tested this once more and for me artillery does appear in shops sooner or later, in normal CE, on Infinite and with EL as well. You might just have been unlucky. Also FTL is at version 1.5.13 now. I have no idea if that could interfere with artillery rarity but I recommend you update your FTL anyway.

Lanius ships don't give you the option of reneging on surrenders.

The beams in captains edition have no length, their length is about 2 pixels long.
is this a feature or a bug.
I am using EL for non-infinite.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.227/Inf 1.225/EL 1.225b
I found what appears to be a bug in CE 1.227?
Mods installed:
Better Planets and Backgrounds 1.3.1
Ce BpAB Compatibility Patch 1.0
CE Resource Pack 1.225
FTL CE 1.227
CE Additional Music addon 1.2
Playing as the Mantis B I found a refugee ship in sector 1. I chose the option to raid them, and then choose the blue option 'You command a ship of the mantis...' and I was engaged in combat with the refugee vessel. I beam over a raiding party and kill everyone on board without incident. But then I didn't get any scrap or 'reward' for raiding and plundering this refugee vessel.
Nothing at all. There was no prompt at all after the refugees had been killed. The crew onboard the vessel were dead and that was that, I just beamed the raiding party back to my ship and continued on. The refugee ship was a rebel fighter, FWIW.

Those are special ones and are indeed a feature (special doesn't always equal good thoughNisergious wrote:The beams in captains edition have no length, their length is about 2 pixels long.

Usually accompanied by low charge time or high damage.

This has happened to me a few times. I've also sometimes suddenly had friendly ABS in an event without any prompt or explicit mention.Mandrake wrote:Playing as the Mantis B I found a refugee ship in sector 1.
