1.5?

I get modding is time consuming as hell and i'm not even going to ask for an updated version, but I loved this mod and think about it often, having never played FTL lol!
EnderNyktos 21 May, 2024 @ 7:46pm 
Please 1.5
feydras 17 May, 2024 @ 6:47pm 
With SOS 2 rereleased it would be amazing to see this updated with compatibility!

Ah shame it's outdated, oh well.

The only name for a mantis without a teleporter is doors. Until I find a reason to use teleporters instead of nukes, it'll stay that way.

if/ when you update it, will you make it still HAR, or will it be a xenotype/ genotype, or both?

Thanks!

Can't wait, but I shall!

I'd say this was always my favorite steam mod, no rush of course on updating! Just wanted to share my thoughts really.

My Favorite aspect of the mod was always how it felt so nice to see real diversity in the races, and how they did feel so unique, strong in completely different fields. Alongside the additions of mind control powers, or the mantis's claws of doom. It really sold a strong vibrant selection of races. Thanks a bunch mate, for making and sharing this free content.
