Your choice, but I feel that if people don't take a firm stand on this, this kind of situations (where algorithms you have no possibility to reason with replace people) are only going to get worse.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.267/Inf 1.27/EL 1.266
You know that Mantis Pod you can pry open for either a Mantis boarder/crew member (same difference) or a Human?
Perhaps there should be an option to not crack it open or eject it but to turn it off and salvage it for scrap.
Of course there would be consequences so perhaps it could warn you that it might contain survivors of the Mantis/Federation war and your crew might react badly if it turns out that there was a Federation survivor.
So maybe 25% chance it was a Mantis and no one bats an eye, 25% chance it was a Human inside (and the crew is naturally horrified like it was piracy so the license, pheromones, plating and repair gel apply), 25% chance the occupant of the pod was dead all along and no consequences, or 25% chance that the Mantis wasn't hibernating in the pod and in your attempt to try and kill it, it jumps out and kills one of your crew instantly somehow.
Just because it looks dangerous doesn't mean we always have to jettison it. Although that sounds like a 50% chance of nothing bad happening. But piracy is like that (33% chance of it happening, 33% chance of it not and 33% chance it doesn't happen and you lose a guy)

But you have 2 levels of piracy : the non-lethal and the lethal (that only a ship with Mantis Pheromones can do without consequences?). Would in this case "scrapping" the pod with potentially someone inside be considered "lethal"?

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.271/Inf 1.267/EL 1.266
Quick update.
CE Update 1.271
- Fixed: A teleporter disruptor option in the ROCK_BORDERS_SUN event not spawning a hostile ship correctly
- Added some missing teleporter disruptor options to the Slug fight where "dangerous radiation" is detected in your medbay
- Added some missing "Continue..." options to the fights during the Pirate Homeworld questline
- Some spellchecking by Russian Rockman
And something to get around that copyright fishyness:
Download CE Additional Music Youtuber Patch Patch 1.0 (MediaFire)
Removes a track where the license is not exactly clear (might cause copy right strikes on youtube.) You need this if you make let's plays or stream the mod. Requires the Aditional Music Addon and the CE Infinite Addon to be installed. Has to be loaded after those mods to work.

I think Slugs can also kill without consequences... and Rocks. So basically a Requisition License wouldn't work. I dunno.But you have 2 levels of piracy : the non-lethal and the lethal (that only a ship with Mantis Pheromones can do without consequences?).

Sleeper Service, The images for the drones is double for AE drones however 1 includes the plasma one while the other doesn't.
I think you accidently replaced the wrong image when you added the plasma drone.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.271/Inf 1.267/EL 1.266
Hello! I am having an issue trying to launch FTL: CE Infinity with the Shiny! UI setup.
This is my mod order:
Here is my Mod Manager Logfile, there's a LOT of warnings in there. But eventually, the game gets to a loading screen complete with Kestrel that sloooooowly fills in...then crashes with a C++ Runtime Error because it ended prematurely. I was getting a sloooooowly filling in starbase, but that crashes with the exact same StdOut as this one, the only difference being that I have Shiny at the top of the load order vs the bottom.
The StdOut log has the following:
I did run the Large Address Aware patch on FTLGame.exe to (mostly) eliminate the Could not allocate enough memory for the image data error. Otherwise, StdOut would be full of that error...
I have tried it with and without Shiny!, better_asteroids or both, and I get nearly the same StdOut, the only difference being a complete lack of the Could not allocate enough memory for the image data error.
If you need more information, I will be happy to provide.
This is my mod order:
Code: Select all
Beginning Scrap Advantage 1.1
Engi Scrap Advantage 1.1
Better Planets and Backgrounds 1.3.1
better_asteroids
CE Resource Pack 1.27
FTL Captains Edition 1.271

CE Additional Music Addon 1.266

CE Additional Music Infinite Compatibility Patch 1.0
EL Texture Pack 1.27
CE Endless Loot Addon for CE Infinite 1.27
CE Non-EL Enemy Loadouts Addon 1.26
Shiny! UI and Graphics 1.0 for CE
The StdOut log has the following:

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.271/Inf 1.267/EL 1.266
Is it possible to make an augment that makes the zoltans explode for more dmg or an augment that adds in an invisible custom bomb at death (so that it can do like 1 dmg to system without causing hull dmg)?
