Whew, it's been a long road everyone... The Fleet Control Mod is practically feature full, and I've moved on to my next project. With all three of my mods, I view each one as a progression: Scrappers was a lazy but fun kitbash mod, Shadow Order uses my own personal art, and then Fleet Control just blew the campaign to bits with new features. With Fleet Control particularly, I really wanted to spice up the campaign, as well as add things that would really keep people playing, all while being compatible with all your favorite mods. Overall, that's what I try to go for with my mods, because I feel you should be free to add as much content to your game as you want, without having to worry about whats compatible with what.

This following project is something I've been working on on the side. It's very special to me, and I'm really proud of it. I was able to add in features with Fleet Control like constructing buildings, mining, etc... But this is so much more. Starfarer is destined for great things, like officer controls, character skills, multiple systems... Of course, other features that haven't been announced. Why wait? We, the modders of this community, can seize control right here, right now! Within this mod, you'll find just the kind of content you've come to expect from me and every other one of our super talented modders out there, and so much more.

You might say "Hey Verrius... Aren't you getting a little dramatic?" Well I say to you, until you've seen what I've been able to do this time, you had better keep your mouth shut and get to playing. You know, whenever I load up this mod, I think about all the talented folks here and wonder why nobody has ever done this before. At the end of the day, there is potential in each and every one of you to traverse space AND time and reach heights you would never have thought imaginable.

TLDR; I added Hardcore Mode, and am being REALLY dramatic about it. Have fun ;)

Wow, must've taken you a while considering this mod contains more MB of data than Scrappers and Fleet Control put together!

 ??? One picture, one ship sys and one variant. About 60 sec to peek inside.

Oh yes and the weapon file :) I peeked there too.  ;D

It was a joke. Much unlike this mod, which is totally serious and won't get me banned or anything.

EDIT: Seriously, look at the filesize. 3mb, that's much bigger than all of my other mods combined :p I wonder whats taking up all that space?

It was? Oh. I'm just... I... I... I never ever see you making a joke. Everyone told me you are such serious and that you never ever laugh. So I'm in... I... I... 



Old Fart :P

...I do hope at least a few people play it before actually reading the thread though. I mean, it's not like I wrote that much of an intro because I felt like it :p

That being said, the giant dramatic nonsense is probably what made you peek into the files in the first place!

It raises the difficulty up dramatically. You'll be constantly on the run, fearing for your life. I've had to restart a lot, but it's pretty darn awesome!

I'd say the title of the thread really brings out the modesty in the OP :D

I Started out with my save called  : The Best StarFarer . I started the game and looked around the map.... NOTHING. waited a Day. Looked at the map again. i saw a small fleet icon of a unknown color. I was about to chase it till i became the pray..... To the Biggest and most badass of trolls. You should have made the ship your name as its name and called it a troll class. But threw my infinite Rage of how i got murders 10 times before i left the so called best mod. I got to say your a amazing coder and modder... NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

Mark the date: April 1st next year, if we're all still alive, I'm making a mod that actually WILL add awesome features, but 30 days into the game it spawns Trollcrafts that spawn on your face*.

*Every frame.
