FTL Captain's Edition 1.308/Inf 1.301b/EL 1.308

[Mr. Mister]

Mmmm... I know that you're okay with having some things being straight better than others, but I wonder if you could do one little thing to improve the Heavy Laser Defense Drone a bit, something the Laser Defense Drone MkII (which uses the same power) doesn't have: a fast projectyle, like the light laser defenses'. That would differientiate their roles further (one of the foundation objectives of the BA&D modules), making it more effective against combat drones (specially the mini-swarm missile variant) than the Laser Defense MkII.


EDIT: Also, found another encounter where it doesn't give you the opportunity to use combat augments (or, at least, the internal effector): Civilian sector (first one), ion storm, rebel fighter, event text probably had "despite the harsh conditions" or so, can't really remember.

The maximum download limit for FTL Captain's Edition 1.092.ftl has been reached. You can request the sender to share it again.

Also, i really don't like the choice of rapidshare as a file hoster for the Ship addon.
The site runs a bunch of scripts, opens a new tab and then hops through many (i guess) ad-farming sites and redirect to the next, and so on. Since i am using adblock, i can only assume each of these sites is full with it.
Stuff like the following:

I know such behaviour only from malicious scripts and hope you will switch to another filehoster.

That is actually an interesting idea (although, require tuning, to not make it TOO powerful - like, fast shooting, fast projectile, might become your universal "no brainer" all purpose defense drone against Universe, which would be bad ), because HDD on ship's loadout was meant to give protection against plentora of enemies using rockets in first (two) sector(s). Considering, that for enemies loadout roughly half rockets were replaced by swarm ones - even with dubious effectivity of swarms as compared to normal rockets - it could help poor Mantis ship a little, without buffing it too much. Just a subtle boost against drones, shouldn't be to OP.

Could someone upload 1.092 somewhere else until Sleeper fixed the link, please?

[andreashend]

can you please reupload the files, the download limit have bin reached

[slowriderxcorps]

At least until further notice, here's 1.092 courtesy of my dropbox.

EDIT: Link has now been retired. Glad to be of service.

[Kartoffelr]

Thanks.

The crystal changes in the ship addon looks interesting. Have to play them again now

One of the things that bugs me about the game is that there's no player reward (aside from survival) of fighting off boarders. But then I got to thinking, why couldn't there be? Why can't there be an occasional post-boarding event where you find a drone schematic on one of the bodies? Or recover some dropped scrap that used to be part of your ship that the boarders were trying to carry off? Or find a map on a body that leads to a quest?

How about it Sleeper? Is it possible to make after-boarding events that would do things like this?

Well cause there is no event infrastructure to support this. Would be cool of course, if it would be possible I would do it.

Thanks for the temporal solution slowrider. Dropbox might suspend your account if that link generates to much traffic. So you might not want to keep that up for too long.

I uploaded the current version on another hosting site to provide a secondary mirror. But the download limit there will also cap at about 80 downloads per day and about 800 per month. Experience shows that is not enough, but it might be ok if the first mirror comes up again.

Everyone who can should probably just use the (hopefully working) torrent that I also provided. Please show your support for CE by constantly seeding whenever you are online.
