Mod: Even Weirder Worlds *** Now 1.02

[ExplorerBob]

Yeah, it is.

I get varying mileage with the stellar cannon; one time I used it and a nova cannon on my cloaking pirate corvette, and it worked beautifully for close-range combat. I prefer a PVC over both, though, when I can get one. The nova cannon does sweet damage, but it has a horrible range.

I rarely ever play vanilla WW nowadays; usually I load up Even Weirder Worlds, or Drives 'R Us when I'm in the mood for neptunium tridents.

One feature Drives had that I liked was the planet not having just alternate weapons; you could buy all kinds of higher-grade equipment there.

I'm always paranoid about Esmeralda stealing or destroying my high-end stuff, and wish there was a way to kill her or otherwise evade her with skill; perhaps even have the ability to chase her down and get back all the stuff she stole.

Anyhow, I'm rambling, so I'll submit this post right about now.

The first game I played of this mod went down hill fast when I was tooling around with my flux shield, and esmerelda stole it. I was so pissed.

I prefer the PVC AND the nova cannon. I also like the the multi missile launcher, but I try to keep a mass driver or some other PD gun in my last slot. Is there a list of weapons somewhere I can look at even if it is for vanilla so I can see the stats, and most importantly tell what works as PD and what weapons won't target fighters?

[Phlagm]

No such list exists, but I could make one perhaps. I think most of the PD I added are the flak cannon (which is the one thing that will target fighters and missiles and NOT cap ships), the burst gun that the pirates have, the still-needing-to-be-finished future wraith polarized muon streamer, the barely-in-there-desperately-needing-to-be-finished pulse wave weapon, and the drones. I think that's it, but I may have forgotten someone. I'll put together a list when I get a chance.

I like both the multi-missile launcher and the hydra missile launcher. If I know I'm going to face the pirates or Cambrians I like to load the hydra as it's very effective against them.

Sometimes that hydra missile is very effective against the processor too.

And as for Esmerelda, both the Lookout Frogs and Toy Robot will stop her. I can't say that it's 100%, but very often the things she steals show up on a homeworld somewhere.

Yes, I know they stop her, but 99.9% of the time Esmeralda shows up early and the Frogs and robot don't show up until later, so they aren't much use.

[Phlagm]

All right. Complaint noted. I've taken one small step to help with that.

[Caylin]

Will she ever show up more than once? And can she escape from your hold if you get rid of the frogs after getting her?

Esmeralda never made sense to me (esp. on the frigate) so I remove the two lines that let her appear.

I haven't missed her at all.
