I was playing Captains Edition recently and I just came across this, what appears to be a Mantis Interceptor with Pirate markings (I found this guy specifically in the Quarantine sector)
I do have the correct mod load order and running the latest version of Captains Edition and I do not have any other issues with any other ship (well, the 3rd weapon for the Engi Cruiser is on the wrong gib when the ship explodes on the Engi type B. Only notice it as I am trying to get a good CE game with it)

Some bugs I have found during several plays

Image

This is a text error that I have also noticed in different occasions:

Code: Select all

Repaired 3hull points
{when you win} your crew: A, B, C, D, EandF
Rebel fleet delayed by3jumps


There are 3 other things that I have found while playing, below the screenshots:

Image

Here I had just entered into the last sector and received the 10 fuel units (+repairs), then a Rebel ship appeared in the background when the sector is supposed to be only under Federation control. One more detail: the Rebel ship appeared exactly when the text "what to do while the FTL is charging" showed up, not before when talking with the Federation Command.

Image

I met this visual bug only with that Crystal ship, which is not the more common crystal cruiser that you can encounter during the "ceremony" event.

Image

This bug occurs during every run I take: whenever an hacking drone hits my ship and is eventually destroyed, leaves some doors "powerless", meaning that enemies shall be able to cross them even if I have 3 or 4 power bars in the Door subsystem.
The workaround I use is to have the crewman manning the subsystem to leave the room (even for < 1 sec.) and then go back there.

Finally, I had to remove the BP&B mod from my list since it was causing the game to crash, despite having it installed following the code written on the first page of this topic, below what happened to me:

Image

A black background and being unable to visit some locations on the map.



Oh, one more thing:

Image

Awesome background here, too bad if I move the mouse over the "warning" icon on the upper right part of the screen there is no info on what's going on. It also happens for 2~3 other symbols:
• inside a huge base
• blackhole
• magnetic field (not the ion storm)
Has anyone ever considered a Warhammer 40,000 Mod for this game? It would be awesome!

Well you are flying the Red-Tail there :P

That is definitely weird. I don't even know how that's possible...

The game is hardcoded with hazards. The CE Hazards are essentially scripted events and not actual hazards. You can't even use the Long Range Scanners to detect them until you're there.
The warnings though could use a bit more explanation than "Danger" rather than having to assume what the anomaly is.

I think one of the Black Holes though is very bright and makes it really bad for the eyes to look at (which is realistic if you think about it...)

I think the door one is because it's already on max upgrade when you manning them.

It happened to mine too, until I realized my Door system was maxed and I don't need to man them at all, and everything works as normal again. (iirc, if your Door system is maxed and you manned them, it reached the "No Manning Bonus" row, which glitched the Door image)

Maybe because you're using 1.286 ver of CE Endless Loot Addon for CE Infinite but you use 1.285b for both the resource pack and CE itself..?

I just downloaded everything, so it should be the same version, but apparently not. Thanks!

EDIT: Didn't work. Still crashing.

The problem should not be on the mod, since I can run them just fine..

Does this crash happen for the first time? Like, have you tried using other mods other than CE? (overhaul mods)

The Mods you have and the ones you are using are different.
In the first list I can see "Descent into Darkness" (which is bugged) and the two basic Slip mods, "Beginning scrap" and "Engi scrap", which can easily conflict with the CE mod.
Also, as GianTell pointed out, you are using together 2 different CE Endless Loot mods, which is bad (see the first page of this topic).
Finally, there is no BALLISTIC! mod, only two of them which make it working with CE...

Try using these mods in this order:

Code: Select all

 GO Ballistic! 1.2 GAUSS Edition
 CE Resource Pack
 FTL Captain's Edition
 CE Infinite Addon
 EL Texture Pack
 CE Endless loot addon for CE Infinite
 Ballistic! 1.0 Compatibility patch
 Randtrel
 *any other ship mods you want to use*


The Artillery Fix is meant to be used only if you started a mission and you've bought the Artillery on a ship which was not originally meant to have it (basically, any ship but the Federation Cruiser).
If you use that Mod from the beginning, your ship will automatically start with the Artillery system installed.
Has anyone ever considered a Warhammer 40,000 Mod for this game? It would be awesome!
