Known problems:
A few glitches including broken room outlines, Glitches in hangar and maybe a few more.

FTL profile:

I should give it a run but Fallout 4... always Fallout 4.
Seriously, I've even stopped playing League of Legends and I would always rush whatever I did to play it whenever I could.

But yeah I might give it a whirl once I'm done slaughtering everyone with a sword and sniper rifle.

Anyway, here's some ideas for improvements based on what you've said the ship has.

Cannot buy augments in shops

Why? I could sell that Battery Charger and use it to buy something better.

Cannot obtain drones

Add this to your blueprints.xml to prevent people from accidentally buying it and wasting a system slot/scrap. It makes Drones not show up in stores (and if they do somehow, it'll be too expensive to buy)

Code: Select all

<systemBlueprint name="drones">
   <type>drones</type>
   <title>Drone Control</title>
   <desc>Powers all of the ship's drones. Drones are automated robots that perform tasks like attacking enemy ships or repairing systems.</desc>
   <startPower>2</startPower>
   <maxPower>8</maxPower>
   <rarity>0</rarity>
   <upgradeCost>
      <level>10</level>
      <!-- level 2 -->
      <level>20</level>
      <!-- level 3 -->
      <level>30</level>
      <!-- level 4 -->
      <level>45</level>
      <!-- level 5 -->
      <level>60</level>
      <!-- level 6 -->
      <level>80</level>
      <!-- level 7 -->
      <level>100</level>
      <!-- level 8 -->
      <level>120</level>
      <!-- Imaginary level 9 -->
   </upgradeCost>
   <cost>9999</cost>
</systemBlueprint>

Overall the ship looks overpowered. Well above the Shrike Line honestly.

I know. Somewhere along the lines i made it overpowered. And I will likely implement the code in later ships if i believe it is necessary. Thanks for the advice! And i will fix the augments thing (And the crew) in the post.

I really do recommend you make a new version with the drone system fix. I made a Scrin Carrier a long time ago where it only had one weapon slot if one were to buy Weapons. But even if I warned people it's not a good investment, people would still buy it and complain that it only had one weapon and they wasted Scrap.

Okay. I will get round to it. thanks for the help.
