[MOD] Federation Scout, Bomber and Outcast Variants

[Whale Cancer]

EDIT: This mod is made obsolete by my new 8 scouts mod. Please use that one instead: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3331; that mod doesn't have the bomber, but an 8 Bombers mod will be out in a week or so.

Is FTL too easy for you? Why not try a ship with only half the health of a normal one? One that can only mount half the weapons of a standard ship?

Presenting the Federation Scout (The Intrepid), Bomber (The Blitzkrieg) and their Outcast Variants (The Falcon and The Corsair)

COMPATIBLE WITH GROGNAK'S MOD MANAGER; THANKS GROGNAK!

The Intrepid is a light scout/science vessel which has nice engines, but doesn't pack much punch.



It's Outcast variant is a hunter/killer stealth ship; it has nice weapons and a starting cloak (and cloak weapons!), but it is still on a rather fragile frame.



The Blitzkrieg comes equipped with a pegasus missile launcher, but only a light laser as a backup. This makes it highly ammo dependent.



The corsair is a dedicated boarding vessel, with a 4-person transporter and 4-person medbay; it's armaments, however, leave something to be desired.



This file is a small UI mod that modifies your hull health bar to have 15 units, instead of 30 (as both of these ships have only 15 hull points): https://sites.google.com/site/sebcraftl ... ects=0&d=1

Yes, this makes the game a fair bit harder. But I am going to be using these in a larger mod which will account for this. Until then, I offer these up as a sort of 'hard mode'.

What ships do these replace?

[Whale Cancer]

Stealth ship and the Mantis Cruiser (if you look at the pictures, the achievements are there indicating what ships they replace).

With Grognak's mod manager, though, I don't see it as a big issue which ones are replaced. If you want to do a game with a ship in .ftl format, you just launch the manager, select it, launch the game... 15 seconds. Then when you want to go back to default, another 15 seconds.

I can't see the pictures. They just say "image"

Don't know why that would be. If anyone else has this problem (or knows why it might occur), please let me know.

I see them fine, of course.

i'm having the same problem

I sort of figured out a workaround. I right clicked where it said imagine and copied image location. Plugged that into my address bar and I can see the image fine.

I'll host the pictures elsewhere, see if that solves things. Weird.

you could always upload the images to this forum. under save drafts / preview / submit buttons there's a little square that says options, besides that there's an "upload attachment" tab.

Sadly, they are about 100kb too big. They are just screens of the ships in the hanger; don't really want to cut them down from that.

Anyway, hosted them elsewhere. Let's hope that worked.
