Subset Games Forum

Added "M.A.D".

No changes to the mod itself, but I tried to make some of the previews in .gif format to show how it would animate in-game

Awesome mod here!
The Sonic bomb with psyonic ray grants overkills with almost every enemy ship. Which is awesome!

Glad you like it! x)
Most of these weapons were supposed to be treated like how one shot from Stealth B's Voulge/Glaive/Faunchard beam pretty much kills everything in sector 1~2

With a bit of luck, this weapon can be succesfully used even in the last sector, even with the Rebel cruiser! Luring all enemies in one room and then BOOM! is the way to go!
The only (huge) downside is that it's almost useless with AI drones... at least the 1 system damage point can help you weaking enemy ship in the meantime...

I believe you have made the most detailed weapon pack in the history of FTL modding. I love those graphics!!

Yeah, you would have to run away from A.I ships if you only have the Sonic Boom or other weapons which deal an overkill crew damage but does not deal hull damage at all xD
I was thinking about making it so that each time you fire the Sonic Boom or other 'imbalanced' weapons, your hull and one random system takes abit of damage (like 1 or 2), but I have no idea how to make that happen (or if that's even possible xD).

I don't think it would be a good idea: if you really want to nerf the weapon, have it requiring 4 power bars instead of 3.
OR you could make a mark II weapon. which still requires 4 energy but it also stuns surrounding rooms (that would make sense, I don't think you can produce a sound wave in a specific place without having such sound widespreading all around).

That's what I want to do as well, since DUH, it's a bloody SONIC BOOM xDD obviously it should spread to other rooms and make the doors near it forced-open! (like when broader successfully break thru the door) But then I'm limited to my knowledge of modding, at the moment x)
(originally I was going to make the blast image as big as 500x500 px but then I realized I have no idea how to make it affecting other rooms beside the one we pin-pointed)

Uhm, could the sonic weapon work like a flak-damage weapon? Since your weapon is a bomb class, I don't know the answer...
Otherwise you could completely change the weapon class and give it a "piercing shield = 5" value.
