Subset Games Forum

After realising that you can't add more ships without overwriting existing ones, I decided not to mod my game. But then I unlocked Rock A.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate that it has only missile weapons. I hate that it has only rocks, and you need 1 to sit in the cockpit, so you're left with 2 rocks inside, who move like molasses. I hate how one of the achievements needs you to get fire weaponry and a teleporter.


So heres my request:

-Change the default weapons to Fire Beam and Fire Bomb.
-Give them a teleporter (Level 1) by default.
-Make engines be level 1 by default.


If anyone can take the time to do this, I will be extremely grateful.

Done. I also increased the fire chance on the beam to a solid 10. It will now incinerate whatever it touches.
Starting missiles have been decreased to 15 (from 28) since you're no longer strictly a missile-boat.

You'll still want to find a backup weapon for Auto-drone ships and Zoltan-shielded enemies, but the changes you've requested are here. Enjoy.

Honestly, you should try to give it a chance. It's a very powerfull ship.

I did, but my horrible luck makes me end up with no missiles in a few sectors and no other weapons.

Thank you SO much!

You did rename it from .ZIP to .FTL right?

yeah.

I downloaded the Latest mod manager version, renamed .zip to ftl, and put it in the mods folder. I open up mod manager, click "Patch" and everything seems fine.

I open up FTL, game won't load, theres a white square where the loading screen should be.

Not sure what happened... The game won't work unless I go into steam and validate the game cache, and then the rock ship is unchanged.
