Hostile radiation fields are a thing now? Do you just shoot at them until they die or is it that they just do scripted damage if you can't deal with them?

I'd like to point out some things in there:

NO LASER PICTURE
The weapon is displayed as the basic laser, but in FTL CE there is a different model...

I think it just defaults to the basic laser if there isn't anything chosen. If he had picked the basic laser you would see its icon in the store

Typos (again)
...that the ENEMY's warp core has been breached and it's losing power.

"it's" should be "is"

I think that's it. I also think that "Vulkan" should be corrected to "Vulcan" since that is the Star Trek race.

I always use the maxed out O2 system, so I can't answer right now; but tomorrow I'll do another run

Yes, you are right. Since I am not English, I didn't know if the planet (and race) is written Vulcan, Vulkan, or Volcan. The first word is the right one

Just something to note:
Vulcan is the roman god of fire, which is what the "Chain Vulcan" and the Star Trek race/planet are named after and it makes sense. In Star Trek, the planet Vulcan is hotter and more desert and mountainous than Earth; hot planet ---> fire, so Vulcan. Vulcan species named after planet. Chain Vulcan is named that either because
1. just like all those other weapons named after roman gods and the like (for example, Leto, Artemis, Hermes, Pegasus, etc.), and the Chain Vulcan is after all a special weapon which is why unlike the other lasers it has a roman god name.
2. think about the frightening rate of fire attributed to the Chain Vulcan. Vulcan is the god of fire, so maybe because of the Vulcan's rate of fire it has the name in common.

Thank you for your Feedback. Somehow every ship had shifted floors and other things. I do not know, what I have done. I am uploading all the changes you suggessted. I am very very sorry for my english. I just write, when I have time and do not realize, what all goes wrong.

The Radioactive Nebula was hard for me to produce. I wanted a place, where your O2 System is down for a long time. Somehow it was impossible to deactivate the O2 System, when there is now enemy. So I made an enemy, that can not be killed. The only Problem there is, if you have Shuttles you can attack the Nebula. YOu should not do it, because this wasn't ment as that. If you have another solution than mail me.

I'm gonna give this a test run very soon. Expect an hour-long video in the next few hours

New Version Online. Both Aer - Rec.ftl and AerFTL.ftl must be loaded!

Everything should work.

By the Way:
You find

Borg in Engi Space
Species 8472 in Zoltan Space
Klingons in Mantis Space
Romulans in Slug Space
Dominion in Rock Space
Tholians in Lanius Space

Mines! ARRGGGHHH!

Or at least slow-moving projectiles that go through all shields and do 2 Hull damage.
Or guns that do Shield Piercing and 2 points of damage each time and fire every 8 seconds. At least Missiles run out...

Needless to say I lost badly...

But you may want to look at that.
Also, a lot of people are not big fans of the Captain's Edition thing where you use up more fuel to go faster, and I'm not a big fan of where you need Level 3 Engines just to avoid a massive fleet pursuit.

Otherwise I'm having fun

The Polaron Torpedos. I made some mistakes I corrected now. They should only do hull dam and never System dam.

Too much Shield Piercing in too many weapons. Especially in Sector 1.
There's also some sort of laser which pierces 1 layer of shields and then gains extra damage each time it fires... and it does this every 10 seconds. Waaaaaay too fast firing.
Then there's the Phased Polarons... which are probably the weapons you're talking about being fixed but still, a bit too much in early-game for both players and enemies.
