[MOD] Ghost Ships and New Items
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 4:17 pm
This is a set of mods for FTL. They are designed to be modular, so you can use them separately or together. The pack consists of two large mods and two mini mods.
Ghost Stories - This mod creates two ghost ships, crewed by ghosts and equipped with unique weapons. One of these ships is a variant of the starting Kestral, and the other is an alternate version of Stealth A. Since ghosts do not require air, the ships lack oxygen systems. This mod also adds a few ghost-related events, as well as some blue text options for ghosts. The Federation cruiser type A exchanges its human crew member for a ghost, but retains its other normal crew and still has an oxygen system. The mod comes with an optional .ftl file to remove the big flashing "low oxygen" warning, which can be annoying on a ghost ship.
Equipment EX - This mod expands the selection of equipment, adding new drones and weapons, and allowing cloak and teleporter systems to be upgraded by one additional level. Rather than spoil the experience of discovering all the new items, I'll just say that the new equipment includes a variety of plasma weapons that deal damage and cause fires, a torpedo weapon that acts as a slow moving missile, and the deadly anti-bio terminator drone, among many others.
Sci-Fi Names - A list of names taken from a number of sci-fi sources, including Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Red Dwarf and many others. The mod comes has two versions: One which will replace any existing names, and another to append to an existing list (allowing you to use these names along with the default list, or any other modded name list).
Manual Ship Unlocker - This is a useful utility mod for those who want to unlock certain ships without going through the unlock quests. With this installed, click on the tutorial, and you'll be given an option to immediately unlock a ship. This works for A type ships, achievements will still be needed to unlock B types. The tutorial can still be used normally while the mod is installed.
