Send the file my way if you have it, I'll try it out. I still have to see whether the old appending mode has the desired effect.

Hey Sleepy, seems like 2nd level modded weapons/drones/ships might just make it in after all

Hey Speeder. So far I can say that I just love both the AE and the CE edition! Seems like the devs actually took some of your Ideas when I look at the enemy Artillery events for example

One small bug i stumbled upon. The Slug Cruiser Typ C does not support Slavery ... I guess this also goes for piracy and shooting after surrender (though I did not test that yet).

Maybe it was just this one event... but I encountered it before with the other types and could enslave everyone happily.

You should not give me that much credit. That idea was around forever, from what I can tell from early development posts the defs though about this even before the launch of the game. I actually outright stole the warning sign from the early AE trailer.

Piracy should work as long as it carries the faction aug. The Slug ship can't get away with slavery for balance and lore reasons, but breaking truce will yield no penalties for Slug captains.

The earlier version (1.2.1???) of BPaB does also not work? Cause that seemed to be alright for anyone.

[Off-topic mode]
RTFM means exactly what the reading person want - in my case, it was Read The (incredibly) Friendly (and helpful, and nicely written, and...) Manual. No, seriously! But I guess man judges by himself

On a more serious note, though - RTFM in coding/hacking/modding/overall more-serious-than-your-average-torrent-commenter communities is considered rather neutral. It's often aimed at one's self ("OK guys, I finally RTFM again and I noticed where I was doing mistake", which doesn't mean one is masochist Overall, more distance to own persona is recommended, alongside "People mean well" assumption.

Also, I think that you *will* admit that your problem looked exactly the same like ones mentioned earlier, by people who forget to remove backup. Especially, that your first note was very vague, wasn't containing list of your mods with versions, load order, version of SMM, etc. It's generally considered essential of any report/asking for help, and in fact in many communities, you wouldn't be even answered (at all) - look how friendly we are Considering all of the above, it wasn't very sane thing to call names the only person (at time) who answered you, even if it was assuming you lack basic knowledge. The person answering *had* all the right to do so, considering your report nature and it (lack of) details.

Anyway, I think we're at good course for re-establishing civil conversation, so I extend "hand of friend-ship" etc., etc.

Hm, so it was BPAB, after all? Apart from detailed info requested by others, could you write which operating system are you using? Have you tried the version of BPAB that doesn't have animated nebuale *or* the hubble-less version? There is at least one person, that can't get the hubble'd version to work properly on one machine (although, getting different problems), for reasons unknown. (btw, for same person and copied FTL directory, it works on other machine, IIRC...)

Also, just like Sleepy mentioned, I think SMM or BPAB threads would be better place for that discussion, as it is quite off-topic (just like my rambling from top of the post ) in CE's thread.

Swarm rockets *are* physical projectiles! And they do blast! Kind of...

Oh I haven't tested that, I'll give it a whirl later.

You can make any weapon say anything.

Ah, right, did not test yet what this is for. Does it replace the default type in the description?

Do you think it would be possible to add, like in the original infinite space mod, an option that would forever remove the threat of the rebel fleet. I'm somewhat of a completionist and I love being able to explore as much as I can of each sector. Maybe a third option at the jump beacons that would cost, say, 75 fuel and put you forever out of their range.

Aside from that, awesome mod, lots of fun.
