Greeting, my fellow FTLers!
I saw a post by UltraMantis about weapon modding being extremely hard, so I'm thinking about making a weaponpack with ideas from the public, so more people will have the oppurtunity to have their weapons become a reality in FTL!

If you would like a to request a weapon, post a reply with:

• An approximate weapon image, if you can get it in FTL-Style already, that'll be great, or a description
• weapon name
• An approximate shot for the weapon or a description
• Stats (fire chance breach chance, etc)
• a description or origin of the weapon (e.g. developed by engi scientists in galactic war XVI, this weapon is known to destroy entire ships in one blast, or made by the mantis clan Kazaakiplethikalliki, this weapon is a deadly combo of mantis strength and engi technology, liberated from defenseless transports, etc.

This is probably going to be a side project so don't expect fast results, but I'll probably get to it since the challenge of it seems kinda fun. For those of you who follow my Event Mod, I don't really do it anymore since it's gotten from it being fun and challenging to just repetitive copying and pasting.

Example Post
Name: pacifist beam
Weapon image: glaive beam with rainbows on it

Yeah thats it, a minigun laser LOL

This isn't for a mod or anything, I just wanted a gun for someone else to use in their ships and so on, I for one don't need it LOL

The Bren Cannon.
Hmm... wansn't Bren a WWII machine gun manufacturer... kinda rings a bell.

It is isn't it, guess thats why I like automatic multi-shot weapons LOL

Pew Pew Balanced Stats:
cooldown 4, power 4, 0 chance of anything

Rapid shots do look nice in FTL, I give it that.

Piledriver Cannon

0 hull
10/10 breach
ignores shields
slow firing speed

the piledriver blahblahblah is used to counter recoil generated by magnetic coils firing the particle blahblahblah, goes very fast but does low significant damage blahblah.

Basically a big recoilless space can-opener. I wanna suffocate them with something.

And Gattling Piledriver Cannon. You can figure that one out yourself

You know, your signature says FLT instead of FTL btw.
