I just had an interesting idea...

I actually came up with this months ago:

I wanted to make a fancy boss rush version for FTL. Though, I never really got around making the actual mod itself.
The only way to progress linearly was to switch an augment which allowed access to the next event.

Yeah I remember that thread. I guess no one really wants to take this on, as it would be so much work just getting a core game mechanic working that vanilla FTL normally nicely provides.

Doin it, I'm gunna also make it compatible *cough* dependent *cough* with Captains Edition.

Yeah, It does have to do with replacing every single event and creating hundreds of stranded events.
Also, this allows for no endgame. In the case of a ship station mod, this wouldn't be a worry, but in my version which which requires an endgame,this would be problematic.

Ah, wait a second. You could give players access to a store, just as long as you set the price for fuel to be some ridiculously large number.

I am uncertain as to whether it is possible to change fuel prices. Furthermore, you cannot despawn a store or change the goods it's selling once it has been created.

I'm not sure but I think waiting actually resets the event at the beacon and gives you a new one, this should despawn the store as well.

Point.

Oh and yes, fuel prices can be changed. Fuel, missiles and drone parts have a blueprint and a price tag just like everything else. 999 scrap for fuel? Well yeah, the Rebels invaded all the fuel producing regions. Galaxy wide fuel crisis and stuff...

[dalolorn]

Why?!

Why do you always have to give me more ideas to think about?!

Now I'm thinking the station could be a fuel factory.
