When I wrote the description for the mod manager, I simply counted forum posts about updates and assigned these versions...
The sM Polish Kit- 1.4
- 1.4 CE 1.051 Patch
- 1.4 CE 1.051 Player Ships Addon
The purpose of this modification is to give FTL a graphical overhaul to solve little nuances with the game while simultaneously altering the way certain aspects such as weapons and enemies work in order to re-balance the game, all while keeping the experience overall as similar to the original as possible.
Background
Somewhat blatantly inspired by Twinge's current effort at re-balancing the entire game, I went back to the original, vanilla mod that I had made. Piece by piece, I strapped upon it the efforts that I had previously come up with (including the animated Artillery Beam and Drone Mode for Engi-B), a slew of aesthetic alterations from both liakad's "diversityMod" and my own efforts, and many gameplay-related changes (some from Twinge, some from myself).
Mod Compatibility
For "FTL Captains Edition" in particular, I decided it would be best to develop a separate patch for it to allow the sM Polish Kit to integrate itself with it while maintaining complete stability of both mods. The patch also includes the same treatment to all of the new weapons and drones of the Captain's Editions, including descriptions and balance alterations, as well as a thorough spellcheck of the entire new quest-line.
To combine the "sM Polish Kit" with "FTL Captains Edition", install mods in this order:
- Captains Edition
- sM Polish Kit
- sMPK for CE
- Any Ship Mods (a special version of "CE Player Ships Addon" is included)
The sM Polish Kit - Base GameA copy of the vanilla game files, punched into the Validate feature of Slipstream Mod Manager, with every error that came up ruthlessly fixed. It was an experiment to see if the game would run any better with the XML errors ironed out.
Mod Compatibility
- Include this first, before any mods.
*Looks up*

I'll add
1.5...
btw, SMM 1.3 just came out. Now, you can put your own description/version info inside the .ftls and make all the tweaks you want without losing that text.
