New Mod: Added Content (now version 2.5)

I find the new weapons are a little strong but overall this is, by far, my favorite mod I've played so far.

Nice work and thanks!

Glad you like it

Yes, the weapons were a bit overpowered.

I've weakened the Railgun. It's still very effective against fighters, but now sometimes needs to hit them twice. It is also less likely to damage capital ships now.

The damage value of the particle accelerator has been reduced to a quarter of the original.

The charge laser is unchanged. 12 seconds recharge should be enough to balance it.

I've replaced the attachment of the first post with the newest version of the mod.

It also includes the promised Tan Ru cruiser, a new lifeform and a new deep space phenomen (I wonder if you can guess what that blue thing is in reality).

Toe,
Looks like a nice job, just tried it out. I'd agree with others that the weapons strength is high, even after your tweaks. I got the charge laser and the particle accelerator early on and it was a somewhat trivial challenge afterwards.

Like the effect you had for the particle accelerator. And love the new background -- great work there, too. Haven't bumped into the new Tan Ru cruiser (I'm not sure I want to! Gulp!)

I'm going to keep playing around with it tonight. Good stuff!

A new release:

Even more new weapons (with improved balance compared to the last version), allies and items you can find.

Enjoy

Thanks Toe !
This mod is great.
I prefer mods that just add more stuff rather than change the whole style of the game (although they're sometimes interesting).
Had a similar idea to this myself (more planet-side events), but I've yet to start with even the most basic mod. Oh, and I can't draw.
I can do music though if anybody wants some .oggs for their mods ;-)
Thanks again, and keep up the (very) good work.

I found a glitch in the Space Hulk. I cannot repare the rear weapon system with the ship's space drive in the way.

Thanks for all the nice words!

The Space Hulk bug is fixed in the newest release - it's attached to my previous post.

At the moment I'm not working on this mod. That's because I've switched to Linux a few weeks ago.
But I'll try to get the game working again on my machine.
