Best of luck with the mod.

Crystal sector / very very VERY rare event

1. Scrap the ship
2. Leave the ship, might be important
3. Your crystal crew relises it as a well-know merchant, and you bring him along. he offers to show you his wares at a discount price. (blue option)
4. You use your anti-bio beam and kill all life. you scrap it but feel like something might of been aboard (blue option)
5. You send a boarding drone to the ship, but it gets taken down. the drone found no traces of oxegin, the only race that could survive that long is a crystal being!

1a. It seems as if you just saw something. you get some useful materials. (med. scrap + small chance of crystal weap)
1b. As you scrap, a blue figure grabs your crew and pulls him into the ship! You best get out before you lose anyone else. (-1 random crew, small scrap reward)
1c. A crystal being pleads that you save him, not the ship! He says his ship has no oxegin and he is dieing. (+1 crystal crew)

4a. You scrap the ship, but you can't help but wonder what the sight in the window was. (med-high scrap reward)
4b. Your crewmember becomes mad and attacks after seeing what he thought was a rare race of alien. (random crew attacks) very rare.

5a. (-1 drone) After launching a second boarding drone, you find no traces of life. it must of been too late.(-1 drone)

I hope you like this event

Rebel Anniversary

Most likely found in Rebel-Controlled Sectors.

As your ship comes to a stop at the beacon, you are hailed by a busy space station in orbit around a small moon. They're celebrating the foundation of the rebellion and are inviting you to the festivities. You spy a few armed ships in the midst of the thick traffic, but with only a cursory glance before being asked to respond, it's hard to tell exactly what you would be up against. In their inebriated stupor, they don't seem to have recognized your ship yet.

1. Take part, intent on gathering intel about their movements.

1a. There's a lot of incendiary talk about the Federation during the festivities, but your crew manages to keep their tempers in check long enough to pass themselves off as rebel sympathizers. One of the more pickled partygoers lets slip some important tactical information about where the rebels are headed, as well as a munitions cache they're hoping to intercept. A quest marker has been added on your map! Delays Rebel pursuit by several turns and adds a beacon containing loot.

1b. As your crew imbibes the potent liquors they have on tap, one of your crew takes exception to someone calling Admiral Tully a coward and a blowhard. A heated fistfight ensues, which soon escalates into an all-out firefight! The rebels chase you back to the ship, and manage to spring aboard before you can undock! Combat begins with a Rebel Cruiser, as well as 3-4 boarders.

1c. One of your crew is excited by all of the exotic drinks being served, and promptly indulges himself. Unfortunately, he crosses paths with a sultry rebel informant, and blurts out your next planned jump! This information quickly gets back to the rebels, and you decide it's time to cut the party short and get going. A hangover is the least of his worries, you figure... he'll be cleaning out the O2 filters for a week! Rebel pursuit heavily boosted for several turns.

2. Explain that you're with the Federation.

2a. The station immediately calls over one of its patrolling vessels, and directs it toward you. It's arming weapons! Begin combat with a Rebel Cruiser.

2b. The station owner expresses his distasteful vitriol regarding the Federation's politics, and gives you a big earful about how they're going to drive the galaxy into the ground, but it's clear that these folks are all talk. You curtly cut comms and prepare to leave. No reward.

3. Attempt to leave.

3a. The inebriated partygoers jeer at your vessel as it pulls away. One of the drunkards decides to give you a parting gift and bumps hulls with you, scratching the paint. 2-4 hull damage.

3b. Not wanting to let a potential source of information get away, the station sends one of its more heavily-armed cruisers after you! Begin combat with a Rebel Elite Cruiser.

4. [Missile Weapon] Create a dazzling fireworks display to use as a cover to escape.

4a. You explain that you're in a hurry to meet someone, but offer to give the rebel partygoers a show. Configuring your missiles' warheads to detonate in all sorts of bright colors, you loose a pyrotechnics display that leaves them agape and cheering. Though, before they can express their applause in person, you're already light-years away. -3 missiles, no reward other than guaranteed escape.

5. [Rock Crew Member] Have your Rock crew member take part in drinks.

5a. Your Rockman expresses some displeasure with having to talk with these, as he puts it, "frail water sacks," but with some encouragement and coaching, he manages to dominate the party conversation, his fortitude laughably unaffected by the potent liquor. Long after the others are babbling idiots from the booze, the Rockman simply asks when the rebels will be through here, and passes the information on to you, along with some intel about where they're keeping an arms cache. A quest marker has been added on your map! Delays Rebel pursuit by several turns and adds a beacon containing loot.

Initial Event Description

A Rebel ship is in the immediate area. You order your crew to power up the weapons, but before you can fire, they hail, "It's about time someone from the fleet got here. Our sensors are out, and we can't risk continuing to transport the cargo."

2. Continue powering up weapons and prepare to destroy them. <Combat is initiated.>

Natar, double check your 1.4 update. It conflicts with the FTL source code (meaning FTL will not open)

You find a rift in space to the mirror universe, and are forced to fight a ship the same model as yours.

Nice Idea, but you have to specify a specific ship to load.
I like the mirror rift thing, can you think of a new event based on it? (like the zoltan great eye, etc.)

Lol, not really its just a copy of an episode plot of star trek... ^^, but yea that will be great, to fight a ship exactly like yours, but the problem is how to tell the ai to grab the same model of your ship, and the same systems, etc. U will need to put that in the autoblueprints file, but then, u will be facing a lot of ships like yours, not only in that event......

Btw, is the 1.3 version the one in the 1.4 link? or, where we can download the 1.3 version?

1.3 is the link
for the fight the ship that's the same as yours, all I can do is make you fight a base ship.
(i.e. the starting kestrel vs. your kestrel, starting crystal vs. your crystal)
I'll have to make a bunch of different files for different ships
btw, are you a coder? I can post this on github and we can collaborate

Awesome, my idea got implemented. I've been meaning to write another event, but I've just been too busy with school lately. I'll have something up in a few days hopefully. Thanks again for coding in the event!
