	*************************
	***	KNOWN BUGS	*
	*************************

	- Cloaking timer doesn't show up after level 4. It works however although the UI doesn't show it properly.
	- Artillery level 5 says "cloaking 25 sec" instead "cooldown 10 sec", because it works. The UI shows it properly.
	- There are no descriptions for skills above level 8, but they work.
	- If you encounter Artillery in a store, if the skill is empty you cannot buy it with that ship. 
	- Teleporter level 4 says "20 sec cooldown" instead of "5 second cooldown". It seems kinda instantenaeous so it worked better than expected.

Would it be possible to buff up the max amount of reactor power on a ship?
From 25 to say.. 30? or even higher?

Can it be configurable?

[PlanetR]

okay so how does this work? I see all the code, but there's not a .ftl file like grognak said to look for. how do I use this as a mod?

[shark]

Discussion has moved here.
Please say everything you need to say there... and no, we can't raise reactors to higher than 25 because there's no mention of them in the files; which leads me to presume it's also hardcoded. However, one might assign a higher starting reactor size which might behave properly, I'll test it out with multiple artilleries and see.

Negative. The developers (Justin & Matt) have stated they do not want the game files redistributed, so posting full data/resource.dat files is not allowed. Since there's currently only one Mod Manager available, it has become the de facto standard for mod distribution. Bottom line, you have to use GMM to install the mod.

Just click on the links in the first post above. Each one will lead you to a page listing the file, its size, its type. At the bottom of the page is a big blue Download button. Click that one. There should be no download manager.

You will need the mod manager to install the .ftl files. There is no other way.

hmm kieve boa thanks both for fast replys have either of you actually downloaded the super skills file... i didnt think so, please allow me a short rant.

to download the file it wants you to install a download manager i clicked on the BIG BLUE download link and managed to get a.... wait why dont you try it and see for yourselves since you both suggested it. shame since the super skills file is what i really wanted to check out.

didnt say anything about not having to use gmm been playing ftl since launch been lurking the mod forums since they were made.

so thanks for not reading properly or testing what i was asking before you posted.

Adblockers, my friend. Use them.
-So I turned off "Adblock" for Firefox and it turns out there is another large blue download button, on the first page, which is apparently garbage. Ignore it and go to the gray "Download File" link in the bottom. THAT will take you to the page with the proper "Big Blue Download Button" that works exactly as it is intended to.

-As to the rest of your rant: don't get snide with people who try to help you, or you'll rapidly run out of people who are willing to help.

[Pyrrha]

thanks sorry to be snippy.

could you repost the file to a more user friendly site please will test adblocker for firefox now. downloaded most of the mods i like here with no problems.

and that does include gmm
