[SHIP]The Abstratus

Postby English Narwhal » Wed Dec 18, 2013 4:08 am

This space ship was designed by myself as a first venture into modding. I have not yet created a custom weapon for this ship, and I may never get around to it.
Image
More importantly, it was designed for Vanguard of Valor. Please, let me know what you think, be it bug reports, criticism, complaints, suggestions, or compliments!

NOTE: I have utterly lost my original idea for what the weapon for the Abstratus was... if you have any good ideas, let me know!

Changelog:
V.05:
Added the description!
V.04:
Tweaked the shield's position
Added a normal shield (It isn't OP, I think)
Still trying to add SMM description
V.03:
Added the Zoltan Shield (I can't believe I forgot that!)
Fixed Miniship
Still trying to add SMM description
V.02:
Added Miniship icon
Renamed File
Still trying to add mod description!
V.01
Posted the Abstratus

Ouch! Quick view of the blueprints:

Shields start at level 1, meaning no shield bars.
No Zoltan Shield augment or starting cloak to protect you.

You are going to take a beating while you try to use a pair of Mantis and a Zoltan to board enemy ships.

Since it is a Zoltan ship, you should probably add the Zoltan Shield augment to it.

Oops!
My original plan for the ship involved something very different, and I neglected to check the augments. I'm re-uploading now.
EDIT:
It is now up! I'm testing out my own ship just to see if it's either too cheap or too hard to play.

If you figure out how to add the SMM description let me know.

I'll look into it with effort... eventually. Right now? I'm improving my mod and testing out other stuff.

SMM comes with two scrap mods. Have you ever tried copying the mod-appendix folder from one of them into your own mod and editing the metadata.xml file to match your needs? That's what I do.

[edit] Out of the four mods I've uploaded, I've only added it to one. :roll: [/edit]

I did, it crashed my mod or didn't show a single thing.

I could help out a bit. Send me the basic data and I'll see what's up.

Nharwhal, hey! You may not remember me, but I was on VoV's stream when you were making this, albeit with a 42 at the end of my name. Don't remember much about what would be put on the ship, all I remember is it having long ranged scanners XD Anyway, good to see your making progress, somewhat.
