i love FTL, and i felt like i wanted to try making a mod. Using a mod maker i found (Super Luminial) and after several early bug testing runs i present: The zoltanica!
The Zoltanica is a ship mod that replaces the adjuctinator, not many ship mods do that so i thought i would and i always found the adjuctinator underwhelming for a ship and pretty weak (in terms of it's game play style) compared to the other choices, even the B-type of it is a ton better, so this mod changes that, taking a small, boring ship and turning it into a MONSTROSITY.

The ship itself is equipped with 2 ion blasts lv1 and a PIKE beam. there are also potential bugs in it as its my first so please post any you find and i'll fixed them as soon as i can. please reply if you liked the mod and your experience with it so i can improve the mod and make more using your criticisms. Uses slipstream mod manager!

THIS IS MY FIRST MOD, IT HAS SOME POTENTIAL BUGS AND COULD BE MORE POWERFUL THAN I EXPECTED, PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK

No, this is a ship mod, replaces the Adjuctinator. I always felt the adjuctinator a little underpowered even at the beginning, THIS HOWEVER is not! needs slipstream mod manager! ill add tat to the post now

You said this is a work in progress, so I'd advise putting this in Mod Development instead.
Also, the Adjucator is 'weak', as you put it, because all of the ships are designed to provide a challenge.

I meant when i found it weak, that it is very underwhelming in its gameplay compared to the other ships. also it really isnt WIP but my first and has room for improvement. ill be posting a photo today

First impression is that it's not op until you get cloaking, other weapons or some way to alter fighting faze as at the start it takes quite some time for Glaive beam to fire and if you get unlucky fight you can die easily, for example enemy with few drones and/or asteroid field can lead to very early death. But yeah, having 4 weapon slots with 3 drone slots and zoltan shield kinda makes this ship way to over powered by themselves.

Also, I would like to point out that this mode should be still work in progress, as room textures are way off, looks like you just shrunk and rotated original pictures. In some rooms crew manning the system is facing wall and using invisible keyboard which is actually on another tile. Some textures are shrunken and not proportional, making it pain in the eyes as you have to see it all the game.

All in all, as a first mode, nicely done.

Thank you, i am planning to do some balencing it and the room textures i spesified to something else but it didnt work for whatever reason

Can I include the hull in a personal project of mine? You'll be given credit.

This person's last visit to these forums was on April 2014, so it's unlikely you'll get a hold of them.

But considering the hull is the Zoltan Cruiser but very simply mirrored, you could conceivably just make a similar hull yourself.
