I have tried to go through and remove all ion missiles, and the "burst last III" (Burst_Laser_4 in the mod file) from Alextfish's edit, restoring "Burst Laser IV" to the original "Burst Laser III" with 5 shots, power 4 (Still referenced as Burst_Laser_5 in the mod file) . I will miss it somewhat, I liked the fake burst laser 3, but I also want to play the game the way it was originally balanced.

This should be the last change needed to bring this to a purely graphical mod, I've double checked myself, if there are any errors let me know and I will edit it again.
This is my small (very small) contribution to a fantastic game, I hope everyone finds it useful.
UPDATE 11-14: Restored Burst Laser II rarity to 4. Restored Burst Laser III flavor text.

There are a few little things that I noticed were different. In the description of the Burst mk. 3, it now says "deadly" instead of "impressive". Also, the burst laser mk. 2 is 5 scrap cheaper in this version, and the rarity is different. Apart from that, everything else seemed right though.

Good catch! I've corrected the file and re-uploaded it. URL should be the same.

Re: [MOD] diversityMod [V0.3]
Thanks for getting round to that when I didn't. I've been a bit busy.
Many years ago I created the FTL Starcraft mod: 18 new challenging ships to fly through the FTL universe!, and wrote a tutorial on creating your own FTL ships. They haven't been updated for AE though.

Re: [MOD] diversityMod [V0.3]
I just wanted to stop by and say "thank you" for creating this mod - I familiarized myself with modding FTL by reading through this mod's files and images.
In fact, I started writing "Sonata" on top of this mod - it took me a bit to remove your work! I've probably stared at your upgraded weapons more than the vanilla ones. It's jarring.
Keep it up!

You are the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men - but I'm trying, I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

Re: [MOD] diversityMod [V0.3]
Does this mod change the enemies maximum shields, because I ran into this: A autoscout with 5 shields at last stand. Is that supposed to happen or a bug?

5 Shield ships exist in the game originally, they are just really rare. I highly doubt this mod changed anything regarding that.

Hi, Istarune. I'm running your version of this mod and I just noticed I got hit twice during the same battle by a single shot missile launcher that did 4 damage to my shield room *without breaching it*.
I know a Breach Missile does 4 damage to any room when it hits, but hitting twice without causing a breach is a little strange.
Maybe I got lucky considering that the Breach Missile has a high chance to cause a breach. It's a possibility.
Or is it possible that this has something to do with any modification on the stats associated with this particular weapon during the making of this mod?

Re: [MOD] diversityMod [V0.3]
I can say for sure that when I went through looking for little errors, none of the other numbers were off. Sounds to me like you just had that 1% chance of not getting a breach two missiles in a row.
