Those are impressive splices, dude!

Hi Dalas, sweet ships and stations! Unfortunately I don't really have the time an resources right now to integrate them properly. Also Federation ships are somewhat less needed since they don't appear all that often apparts from when in pirate hands. Stuff like the refinery might need their own events as well. If you absolutely want to integrate these you could consider making a stand alone expansion mod though.

The Refinery could turn up in the Last Stand at Repair Stations or even replace the Fuel Depots that offer 6 fuel for 12 Scrap instead of using a station model. They do come in other colours according to what Dallas has said
The Federation Base obviously could be at the spot where the Federation Base is before the Flagship arrives.

I think the issue would then be creating the ship layouts and integrating everything together... as to me it looks like a replacement job rather than adding new events.

Yeah, but those instances wouldn’t really put them to shine, IMO they should appear in more event with more possible interactions. But then I'd need to create Infinite Loot versions of them and for that I need to rework the prefix file and... yo did I mention that I want to pre-release a stand alone game thing in February? So yeah, no time really... sorry.

But hey, I made you a crappy free game to console you all.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I completely understand how busy you are, and thanks for the suggestion about making a stand-alone mod to add them into the game. I haven't done much with event modding, but I'll look into it and see what I can do!

Good luck with Hyperspace Admirals - I'll definitely be getting it once it comes out.

also important to note is that if there is a tag like <ship load="REBEL_RIGGER" hostile="true {or false}"/> the victory/escape rewards and texts are located in events_ships.xml. (fancy brackets are my notes)

I'm so hyped for it too dude. gotta wait until after summer this year, but hey, it'll probably be worth the wait. I hope there will be modding support for things like adding races, etc. like we all wish for FTL but will probably never happen.

Hyperspace Admirals is currently suspended, since we lack time and money. I actually wrote about that on the blog a while ago. We currently try to secure funding in order to hire a full time dev. So Admirals will happen 2018 at the earliest, but modding was and will be one of our main priorities.

But I have also been working on a side project that I plan to launch on Itch.io refinery in February. I'll let you know when its out.

EL is a pain... it takes a eternity to load and when it loads it shows black squares all over the buttons and do tons of lag.. my pc is a potato but i don't really think that's the problem since i have enough ram to handle all of that.

Your PC might be able to handle it but thanks to how FTL works and stuff... the game can't handle it.
Mine crashes.

I've got the mod manager but i don't know how to download the mod what do i do?
