Yeah that was planned to be one of the special weapons added in the latest versions. Reverse Ion Bomb (far left) all done with custom projectile and explosion.

I didn't like the fact that you can extend the Zoltan shield life bar beyond the original five hits. That would be easy to abuse and it also looks horrible on the UI, so I took that out again.

New version. Bugfixes, mainly.

1.096
- Exit beacon in any nebula will call neutral nebula events now (stable?)
- A few barge class enemies can upgrade their signature system further than normal now
- Minimal sector for Engi AI ship removed (possible unknown crash cause?)
- Hider does no longer join your crew for fun when paying his fare
- Stray fleet event fixed
- Sensor reset from all post- and in-fight hard resets removed

Thank your super fast reply and fixes

It absolutely feels correct - I presumed that hitting continue = closing event window and continuing journey, like it's in most cases. It is some limitation of the event engine? Otherwise something like "Consider your other options" instead of "Continue" would be more self explanatory.

As for Zoltan A, sorry, I haven't checked the A version - I thought engineering options are attached to faction-classifying augments, got my facts corrected, thanks. I agree with Zoltan's dillema - ships is pretty powerful already, apart from diplomacy, there is immunity for 99% of artillery (I suspect boss phase 1 artillery could still work, due to being repeated), thanks to Zoltan's shield. OTOH, it would be nice to have some shield-related engineering options... Hm, it's pity, that this self negative-ionizing can't be limited to not exceed initial 5 bubbles.

Downloading latest version, can't wait to play it

I know you will hate me for this sleeper, but I was recently watching the movie Captains Edition 1.096 - "Return of the Testrel"

Episode V: Testrel Strikes Back

// Edit

Ops, Delphi beat me to it.

But we had the same thing in mind

Because, if the negative-ion bomb had positive system damage, the system damage would still not get past the Zoltan shield, right?

Found another one of those Zoltan enemy surrender bugs, this time it's related to an event where your way is blockaded to the store by a pirate.

EDIT: Went into an AI sector, Inquired about special tech to a black market dealer in nebula, bought a Rock Chaff launcher but it gave me recon drone instead.



EDIT 2: Found yet another bug: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =224632726

I decided to fire upon the slug ship even after it surrendered and gave me some fuel. As a result, my level 3 sensors activated in the nebula.

Reason with the biggest and most powerful ultra-cruiser of FTL universe, owned by the faction that is utterly hostile to the federation? gg no re

I found a fourth bug, you might want to check my 3rd edit.



EDIT: Nevermind, tried to negotiate using my upgraded systems to my advantage, and in the end it just proceeded to fire upon me. I really like your idea of attempting to intimidate your opponent with your systems. Gives a bit of Mass Effect conversation aura.
