Welcome to the modding club.

“I want to play the game”. Starts a new playthrough. “Oh, this would be a cool mod idea”. Plays 60 more seconds. “I can make it work like this”. 5 more seconds. “Need to try it out.” Alt+F4, fire up IDE spend next few days coding.

Pray for salvation, for this will become your routine. I haven’t finished GA questline or get spoiler ship since 0.95a dropped

Oh, i already got plenty ideas for another mod long before i finished this one. The temptation to start a bigger mod immediately after this one is strong

i haven’t tried it with 0.95.1a yet, so if there are any problams, tell me.

New Update

I Reworked the Pike quite a bit and also did some work on the Crossbow.
Apart from that this Update mostly focuses on Changes to Price and Usage by AI fleets

mod_info still says “gameVersion”:”0.95a-RC14″

forgot to say yesterday evening but new update is out

On Linux, this mod fails to load resources from graphics/weapons/Shotguns because it is looking for resources in the path graphics/weapons/shotguns (Shotguns -> shotguns). Renaming the directory to use lower-case “shotguns” fixes the issue.

noted, will fix next update, although that will probably be a while
