Hi again

CE Infinite:
Don't know if bug or just a random possibility but I encountered a ship at a distress signal that needed my help with fuel. Now I'd understand if it was a civilian needing fuel, but this ship in particular was a Rebel Rigger. With Rebel colours, crew of Humans and two defense drones (the standard, bad ship ID here's a placeholder vessel), etc.

So yeah I don't know if the Rebels were seriously asking me for help or that was meant to be something like a Federation ship needing fuel.

EDIT: I also encountered a Rebel Rigger with the same loadout and colours in a Quarantine Sector. Although this time it had a mixed crew of Humans and Zoltan. The problem was that it was severely underpowered for Sector 5. Ships with 1 layer of shields shouldn't be showing up.

What exactly does the BRUTAL extension do in endless loot (for standard)? I've gotten it a few times now and the stats look the same as original or at least to too too brutal?

[NewAgeOfPower]

Or the limit could be 32, or 2^5, which is not as arbitrary a number as a round 30.

...aaaaand looks like I'm correct. Ship with 26 power bars (1 over the in-game limit) and level 3 battery crashes inside of ion storms when the battery is activated.

So 31 bars is safe, 32 crashes the game.

Adding Zoltans to 31 power bars also causes crashes.

So a few prefixes simply do a lot of small things and therefore the text would get too if the detailed postfix gets attached to the weapon description. Sometimes I also liked to keep things vague or thought the details are not that important. "Brutal" fell into the first category. Here is what it actually does:
Brutal: cooldown x0.90, breach chance +1, crew damage +1, stun chance +1

And in case you wonder:
Weaksauce: cooldown x1.10, breach chance -1, crew damage -1, stun chance -1
Substandard: cooldown x1.1; projectile/beam speed x0.9; breach chance -1; fire chance -1, stun chance -1
Surplus: cooldown x1.2; projectile/beam speed x0.8; breach chance -3; fire chance -3, stun chance -3
Quality: cooldown x0.9; projectile/beam speed x1.1
Custom: cooldown x0.8; projectile/beam speed x1.2; breach chance +1; fire chance +1, stun chance +1
Vintage: cooldown x1.1; projectile/beam speed x0.9; breach chance -1; fire chance -1, rarity +2; price x1.5
Antique: cooldown x1.4; projectile/beam speed x0.7; breach chance -3; fire chance -3, rarity +4; price x2
Swag: rarity +4; price x1.5
Second Hand: price x0.75

Adding Zoltans to 31 power bars also causes crashes.

Urgh, I knew this was to easy. Well thanks for the heads up, I'll revert that change in Infinite then.

I haven't tested this yet, but I suspect 25 reactor + 4 battery + 3+ zoltans will also crash the game. And that's possible without mods.

Solution, talk to the devs?

But in the meantime, consider an remove-all-ion-storms mod.

Zoltans do not count as reactor power. Therefore, they do not add to the max reactor power. Therefore they do not cause a crash when used with the battery. At least from my testing...

Did that. FTL has no modding support.

But in the meantime, consider an remove-all-ion-storms mod.

What? Where's the fun in not having ion storms??? I don't want a 3rd battery bar THAT badly.

Strange. It crashed to desktop upon entering ion storm, every attempt, for me.
