[MOD] Overpowered Zolton Ships

Postby redsquirrel » Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:56 pm

This is mod I did for fun on my favorite ship class: the Zolton Cruiser. The overall idea is to take the Zolton Cruiser and turn it up a few notches. I try not to go too overboard and attempt to give the weapons some semblance of balance. However the ships are supposed to be completely overpowered.

Included are the two enhanced ships and few new weapons:

Ships
  • The Judge
  • The Executioner

    Weapons
    1. Bio-Beam Mark II
      The length of the pike beam, charges faster, and instantly kills crew on contact.

    2. Heavy Ion Mark II
      An improved version of the Heavy Ion that fires about twice as fast. This is probably the least overpowered of the weapons since I tried to make it upgrade in a similar way that the ion blast does from Mark I to Mark II.

    3. Ion Missile
      Simple, a missile which does 4 ion damage in addition to its 2 regular damage. Low breach and fire chance. A mish mash of the Artemis Missile, Hull Missile, and Ion bomb.

    4. Zeus Laser
      Ridiculous weapon, an upgrade to the Heavy Laser MKII. Fires three Heavy Lasers with high breach and fire chance.

    5. Zeus Beam
      The second ridiculous weapon. It's an upgrade to the Glaive Beam (like it needed it one) bumping its power up to five :lol: while reducing its length and cooldown.

    Possible Conflicts
    • Anything that modifies the Zolton Ships will conflict
    • Another mod that adds Ion Missiles or another Ion Weapon could possibly conflict (I've named them MISSILES_ION and ION_3 respectively, common names)

Downloads:
With Reskins
Without Reskins

P.S.
Does anyone know how to disable scores and/or achievements? I'd prefer to turn them off while using this mod (which I would update with and without scores/achievements disabled), since I don't like having illegitimate records.

Edit: Changed images to links to them on my steam account. Steam changed the direct links, might do it again, so this should be more permanent. Don't even know if this still works, but heh

Here's the links to the broken images, The Judge:

And the Executioner:

They look like they could be fun, but just a teeny weeny bit overpowered for my tastes haha

Dammit, I don't know why the pics are broken. I'll try to fix that.

You need to put the direct link that I posted into the image tags, not the steam pages URL

If your using window go to "%userprofile%\My Document\ My Games\ FasterThanLight" to prof.sav and copy somewhere else to keep the real scores and when you want your real scores go and replace it. Hope it helps!

I already knew how to do that; I wanted to know a way to do it using data.dat.
