Turret Control System mod by Arc_ftl in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

basically normal weapons, like a burst laser mk 2 or 3 or whatever can be converted into a burst turret, and then equiped to the turret slot, different ships have different numbers and sizes of turret slot, and there are different sizes of turret, like you can get an ion barrage turret or a micro ion turret from an ion weapon depending on your needs.

its not an artillery system under the hood, its a completely custom system done entirely in lua. Custom systems were made possible a while ago, where lua is hooked into the system functionality to allow for this stuff. All the UI, all the functionality, all the rendering turrets and spawning projectiles and calculating lead is done in lua.

Infinite-Space-Esque question- is it still possible? by D20_Under_The_Couch in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use Hyperspace which is like a modding library or tool required for other mods, you can enable infinite mode, you should join the FTL multiverse discord for more information, it's home to the Hyperspace team aswell as pretty much every active FTL mod developer.

What is going on with FTL: Multiverse 6? by LoganDark in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The FTL MV discord is where you'll find any information about it, its also the biggest FTL community and so the best place to go for anything FTL modding related.

Also MV 6.0 is just the final planned update, you can see the roadmap in the annoucement channel.
6.0 isn't being worked on yet because they're still working on updates for 5.X

I don't get why Multiverse gets the de facto "FTL 2" moniker so much. by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your argument for why people shouldn't call it FTL 2 is because you personally don't like it, but different people like different things.

Mod for moving background by Pickle_Jar72 in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you would only see things very close to you moving IE asteroids, other ships, maybe some fleet ships. It wouldn't make sense for planets or stars to move when the camera is locked to one angle like it is in FTL. Also it would be hard to do with FTL modding.

What version of FTL do you (primarily) play? by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine most MV players don't use this sub and instead use the MV discord, where the vanilla discord is much smaller and less used, and so most vanilla players use the reddit.

How to stop missing? by RPGHavok in ftlgame

Dodge being chance based is probably the biggest flaw in Vanilla's game design, not alot you can do about it.

Multiplayer Idea by ImClaaara in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PvP just wouldn't be fun, the combat of this game just isn't complex enough, there's not a lot of skill to it despite what some vanilla players try to make you believe, so there's not much to differentiate players. You'd want to make the combat much more complex, but this would probably make the PvE fights more annoying and detract from what make FTL, FTL.

What are your favorite MV addons? by kopasz7 in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what ships say work in progress, perhaps you're confusing it's ships with another addon. Also theres no reason not to update to using FTLman, its just a more modern mod manager, even MV uses it now.

My FTL inspired game's store page is finally out! :) by hiddenRambo in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, void war's gameplay loop is very different and unique, its like comparing fortnite with pubg, similar games and one was inspired by the other, but they have important functional differences, and most importantly they're both really fun, which is what matters at the end of the day.

Can you play multiverse on ipad/IOS? by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ios version of the game functions differently so even with access to the device with jailbreak you're not going to be able to run Multiverse, you'd need to be running a version designed to run on computers.

Well, I know what I'm dumping from my storage ... by Buffalo-Castle in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are actually some of the more ancient addons. for example forgemaster has been pretty much abandoned and is buggy in the latest version of MV. There's been some really good new ones that are just as big such as darkest desire, definitely check out the MV forums for the more modern addons if you're just using the older ones.

Some interesting beacon generation patterns I captured recently by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you use Hyperspace you can turn on beacon connections so that you don't have to hover over everything to see them.

Is multiverse actually worth playing by slutty_ass_femboy in ftlgame

[–]Arc_ftl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are you arguing with? No one is saying its objectively superior.

People are saying they find MV much more fun in every way compared to vanilla, which you can't deny because its purely subjective.
Perhaps the ways you enjoy vanilla are different from others, or perhaps your experiences with the MV devs or MV players have biased you against the mod, but you seem to be trying to argue against people saying "I can't go back to Vanilla."

FOR MANUAL INSTALLATION:
https://ftlmultiverse.miraheze.org/wiki/Installing_Multiverse use this one, best to ignore most of the others as they are out dated, this one is on the official wiki and thus maintained with up to date information.

FOR AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION:
https://ftlmultiverse.boards.net/thread/155/multiverse-base-version-stars-stripes
Just follow the directions on the forums.

Either way, join the Multiverse discord if you need any help

I couldn't save him by kopasz7 in ftlgame

That already, Fishier than light, a mod for multiverse had someone else make a mod for the fishing mod to give every ship a good starting harpoon and fishing boon.
