Federation cruiser fragment

Postby agigabyte » Sat Aug 17, 2013 5:35 pm

I will give stats later, I am rushed right now.

This is a gib of the port engine and aft section of the osprey, it replaces Fed B.

Warning: This is a prototype, it does not even have a death animation.

Balanced version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wb4upyylsltuo ... 282%29.ftl

The 'balanced version' is identical to the standard one except for the fact that its crew is now 1 human, 1 mantis, and 1 Crystal.

You're pushing the definition of a Working Mod. I don't wish to nasty nazi moderate you, but you're practically admiting that the mod is not yet ready.

Please post complete mods. I know that it's possible to have WIP mods, or some missing features, and to be honest i really don't want to be anal. But dont knowingly post a mod that still needs work or testing. There's an entire Mod Development forum for beta releases, and moving topics between forums is trivially easy and every moderator will do it when asked. We do check all posts.

It's up to us as modders to release complete, polished and well designed and presented mods. Rushing things is an exciting way to distibute buggy mods and something everyone should avoid.

I won't criticise your design as it's none of my business. Well, maybe a little...
I like having to juggle power to use weapons effectively, and while Burst Laser I, Pike Beam and Hermes are choice weapons, they are suitably balanced by the lack of power and crappy systems elsewhere on the ship. I don't know what direction you're going with this, but having 8 crew and a hangar-sized medbay removes much of the danger posed by intruders and fires. Also, starting with 3 Mantis, i expected a 3 slot teleporter. :lol: No such luck though.
I wish i could see more of the ship, most of it is obscured by rooms themselves.

There is one bug, Drone Control is disabled on the ship but still available in stores. Check this post for a solution.

The mod is two years old, hasn't got everything included and probably hasn't been updated for AE. Of course your game would crash for the silliest things.
