[MOD]Hard/Extreme difficulty

Postby AtillaBosma » Wed Sep 19, 2012 7:48 pm

What does this mod do?

- It decreases the amount of crewmembers you have to 2
- It decreases the amount of missiles you start with to 4
- It decreases your starting energy
- It decreases your weapons damage
- It decreases your ships HP

Please play with the first ship you get, and on normal difficulty.

Download Link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21010722/HardDif.ftl
IF .FTL DOESNT WORK USE THE ZIP: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21010722/HardDif.rar

(This was made NOT using the .append feature, so it might conflict with other mods)

EDIT: I repacked the RAR so it only includes Data.dat, decreases filesize from 138MB to 164KB.
EDIT 2: Alright, I made the mod GMM compatible.

I'll change all the other ships aswell, and make the fleet come faster.

138 MBs? Do you really need the resource.dat?

I'm ready to move this mod to the Working Mods subforum, once the link to the RAR file which contains data.dat is removed. PM when you are ready. :)

How can I get this mod? The links seem to be broken.

This mod seems to be exactly what I am looking for. I love FTL, but lately it feels too easy.

If you can't get this mod to work, please feel free to try Infinite Space (sig), it "should be" harder than the base game, and I would love feedback from people that want a challenge.

Similarly, my Starcraft mod includes a bunch of ships that are mostly somewhat harder than the basic game, mainly due to starting with no shields. If you give it a try I'd love to hear what you think.
Many years ago I created the FTL Starcraft mod: 18 new challenging ships to fly through the FTL universe!, and wrote a tutorial on creating your own FTL ships. They haven't been updated for AE though.
