You're not abandoning the mission. You're fleeing from the Rebels and trying to lose them amongst the stars. You can still return to finish it, provided you have 10 fuel and are at the exit beacon.

I see, though it would be great if the deep space isn't as randomized.

It would also be great if unicorns were real, we could harness hopes and happiness as energy, and there was no world hunger. But unfortunately, all those things are equally impossible.

WooHoo!!! Thanks Ben you are awesome!!!
I would consider that an OK to also use the Bonus Horror track in Quarantine Sectors and possibly the Bonus Federation track in Federation Sectors as well!!! If you haven't already you should definitely rewrite the Music Addon description to advertise the fact that it uses additional music from Ben Prunty who created the original soundtrack for FTL and link to his BandCamp.
Eh, I'll have to get used to that one. But if it is necessary to prevent crashes, it is necessary. How do youse personally feel about that change? Do you like it better this way?
This one I definitely approve of though. Thanks for finally implementing that suggestion. . Does the new combined Adv. Nav augment still help with FTL travel?

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.264/Inf 1.264/EL 1.264
Hi, this mod hasn't been working for me for awhile, but I recently tried to give it another go. First I installed the base Captains Edition accidentally excluding the resource pack. It worked and would load without error except for the missing textures of course. I then converted FTl back to it's vanilla state, ran it, closed it downloaded the resource pack and tried to run it to test it. It closed on the load screen after having appeared to have been loaded. I then loaded in CE (base mod again) and CE Infinite Addon (observing the load order) as well as Ce resource pack. Again, I made sure the load order was correct. Upon launching it it crashed at the same point as the other version did with only the Resource pack installed. This compels me to believe that perhaps my PC does not have the specs necessary to run the images within the resource pack. I am wondering if this could be confirmed or denied. If confirmed I would appreciate if anyone knew a fix (short of a new computer or hardware) though I doubt it. Either way, thanks. I should also mention that all of this was done on the newest version of Slipstream Mod Manager.
Specs:
Processor - Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz
System Type - 32 bit operating system
Graphics Card - Not sure (if needed, say so, I can find out)

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.264/Inf 1.264/EL 1.264
Most likely this can be fixed by allocating more memory to FTL. Read through the troubleshooting section of the first post to learn how to do that.
Well the alternative would haven been a Mind Shielding that only limits the system to one bar, which would turn a total niche augment into a largely ineffective niche augment. Firewall plating and Mind Shielding already where somewhat less useful than the Drone Uplink Jammer or the Teleporter Jammer, also cause these systems pose a somewhat greater direct thread. Combining the two AE related augs creates a more usefull comba aug, that is also somewhat characteristic and feels "advanced" in its own right, countering the AE technology specifically, if not entirely negating it. It always jamms both hacking and mind control (limiting them both to one bar), in that way being most effective against ships which have both systems (Tech Cruisers and the like.) I overall like it that way, as the aug has a more characteristic profile now. Much like the subspace scanner, that can be used in two different ways, or the Teleporter Jammer, which also works in a lot of boarding events alongside normal combat.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.264/Inf 1.264/EL 1.264
You make a good point. Those two augments were less useful mostly because those systems just don't show up as often as weapons and drones obviously. The only show up with stuff that was added after AE so a lesser percentage of the content. It is still too bad they can't disable either system completely though.
The Subspace Scanner, although it disables only one system is super useful because that system is the most annoying system.
Anyway, do you plan to include the Horror and Federation Bonus tracks into the CE Additional Music Addon? It doesn't sound like Ben would mind.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.264/Inf 1.264/EL 1.264
I just got to listen to use the new Additional Music addon and it is truly awesome. When Electric Mountain kicks in it is epic!!! Did you have to remix any of those tracks yourself? Anyway, thanks for adding Ben's tracks into the mix as soon as he gave you the go ahead. Do you plan on adding any more of his tracks?
Corruption could be a Slug or Nebula track perhaps?
Percussion in 6/8 would be good for Mantis (as I see it) although it apparently matches the new Slug track in the AE soundtrack.
Dismantled and Impulse are also really cool.
I'd use the whole thing if I could find a way to fit it in.
Personally, are there any other places you have found chiptune music that you liked?
EDIT: Also, you should really link to Chromatic T-rex in the OP and say that the addon includes additional music from the creator of FTL's original soundtrack. It would give Ben more advertisement and in turn also make more people want to download and try that add-on based on Ben's popularity.
On another note, I have accepted the change to the mind shield and firewall plating augments, but you should probably change some of the flavor text from those augments. Since a lot of them still say things like "should prevent any hacking drones from attacking to your ship" and "will render the enemy's hacking system useless." That is not the case anymore, so for example:
It would be better to say things like, "Will hamper any enemy hacking attempts" or "will lessen the effects of any enemy hacking drones.
Also, would reducing the enemy's hacking and mind control by 2 instead of 3 still cause a crash? I'm just asking because I would like to know what the problem is since I never got to do any testing on that myself. But if reducing the system by 2 worked then it would be better than always limiting it to 1. You probably already tried that, but I'm just asking anyway, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me whether you did or not.
Thanks.
