[OVERHAUL - USES HYPERSPACE] FTL: MULTIVERSE Version 5.4.4 Orchids Revamped

[ilikesaying]

The giant alien spiders event should have a blue option for the human soldier as they are trained for combat

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Not a bad idea, I'll add that in 2.3

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Federation update 2.3 is out!

Code: Select all

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
 NEW FEATURES:
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Added the Federation Sector. It is unique, though it appears to be a generic sector. Lore wise, this is because The Last Stand is

the Federation capitol.

Added the Federation Loot Transport event, which has slightly different text than usual to make it morally acceptable to fight them

Added an optional lore dump to the start beacon

Added the Node 17 Memorial Event. Save the city and deliver Tully's package for a unique reward unlike any other...

Enemy Federation ship beam artillery only pierces 3 shields and is slower

Ghost ships no longer spawn with oxygen

The Engi Last Stand judge gives Engine Pre-Igniter instead of Adv. FTL Nav

BUG/ISSUE FIXES:
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Fixed saboteur jobs not working

Fixed some tpyos

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
 OTHER CHANGES:
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

To make the ghost image change, their internal name had to be changed to "ghosty" (originally "ghost"). This should be fixed in all

events and ships, but if you see a human in place of where a ghost should be, or a ghost blue option is not working, report it so

it can be fixed.

Temporarily made the big rebel fleet ship invisible since it would spawn in Fed sectors when the PDS was enabled

[TheMultiverseTeam]

2.5.4 is a very very small change, but very very important.
There were two typos in slug and pirate events, which caused occasional crashes in the Slug sectors, Coalition sectors, Pirate Sectors, and potentially the Black Market too (no crashes were seen but the code suggests it would happen.)

It was all because of 2 small xml bugs, but had a pretty massive impact. 2.5.4 simply fixes that, nothing else.
Hyperspace is going to be updating soontm, so 2.6 will be focusing a lot on integrating these new features!

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Hi, I'm really enjoying this mod and how frequent the updates are at the moment 2.6 isn't working for me. It crashes when I click start to try and start a game. I have updated hyperspace to 0.3 and tested it with 2.5.4 and that works fine. Pic of ship selection scree below:
