Keep in mind that unless you modify the files as I have, sanmonku's and splette's mods are incompatible, and diversityMod is also different than the version I'm using... I'll see if the mod makers will let me release the compatible combomod somewhere.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Oh my god, your voice its..I..I cant even describe it, its like.. PERFECT for commentary and stuff O.O

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

MuggleCheese Check out Kottabos...his voice is even crispier

[@EnderLord007]

The background is so pretty.

[@janosd4nuke]

Is it just me, or the color scheme for this ship is totally Cerberus paintjob from Mass Effect XD

[@logancrump4694]

i thought the same thing

[@queennesquik4023]

I've been wanting to make a mod (I'm not a programmer) where you're given an insanely over-powered ship..But you're flipped the other way and have to single-handedly destroy the rebel fleet.Really long playtime, takes a day or to to complete in a winning game.

[@andrewroe2897]

+me me that is a fantastic idea

[@blutomas9403]

+me me yes that is you should become a programer

[@queennesquik4023]

Zachary Erickson That was last year! I took the initiative and made a modded ship with SL2 and am working on a second.

[@Thenameisttllz]

Been watching your ftl videos for years and have seen many of them too many times to keep count. Really enjoy watching them as I play ftl along with you or as you talk me to sleep. Guess I'm just trying to say thank you and if we never hear from you again...well I wish you the best.

[@PwnageMode]

If you're with the rebellion, why do they still chase you? And what is the final boss?

[@MsHojat]

AMC looks like an overpowered version of Hermes (33% less power usage, 17% faster charging, higher fire/breach chance) Arc beam obviously crazy as well; it's like a fire beam except 25% faster charging, deals personnel damage, *AND* 2 system damage! sheesh! Bollide is pretty crap. Considering that Arc beam has the longest charge time, I don't see why he's using bollide over SRAC since SRAC will essentially not miss, plus it deals actual damage.

[@160plays]

Great vid man - as always, you've got a great way of filling empty space. Not a lot happens in a typical FTL run but it always seems like you have more to say than the time allows!

[@ReselmTechLarrance]

Thank you for the music links. I first heard them after i got my new headset, it was the first time i cried this year

[@zeeker3488]

So glad to see another FTL.

[@TheHappyDude124]

That smart bomb is awesome, and so is the ship. You've earned yourself a subscriber.

[@VanguardOfValor]

At the moment, the total conversion mod isn't actually made. This is currently just a ship mod, but I wanted to mention that bigger designs of the mod because I think it is very interesting.

[@erinwoodward1535]

I watched every Vanguard of valor video I miss this man and if anybody else is reading this you probably do too. So many nights listening to his voice before bed he was a part of my childhood

[@SirThinksalot2023]

I have never seen a ship with so many qualified pilots

[@VanguardOfValor]

There are two mods which give give the planets their appearances. sanmoku's is behind all of the new designs, and splette's is behind all of the improved original ones (More or less), and you can find them in the description. Unfortunately, as it stands they have a tendancy to overwrite each other so they don't work together unless you go into the mod files and rename a ton of things.

[@Drod196]

Yesss. More FTL!!!

[@tenaciousllama]

Just stumbled across your channel and you are awesome!! You just earned yourself a subscriber :)

[@charmeleonevolves5553]

36:34 The rockman moonwalked.

[@VanguardOfValor]

Certainly off to a good start, yeah.

[@VanguardOfValor]

All the links you need are in the description.

[@ProjectGamer1776]

This looks like its going to be a victory filled run as usual XD

[@mephiles720]

I remember playing the Zoltan Type-B cruiser and got a full crew of Zoltan, I never had to spend a single scrap on power after the fifth one joined.

[@TheUltimateShammer]

I love the Mountain Dew shield.

[@quantummidget]

I love the lime-green shield

[@noogai3212]

When I saw the thumnail I said REALLY LOUD "OH...MY...GOD.THIS SHIP LOOKS AAWESOOME!" And my neighbour next door looked at me from his window. :P

[@QwimpySoft]

You have fantastic music.

[@myke.8715]

You seem to be a Good Commentator and You're Vice is clear and loud Sub!

[@VanguardOfValor]

The links ARE in the description. :P

[@VanguardOfValor]

I agree. I'll have to look into trying to tone down the audio a bit.

[@VanguardOfValor]

I know, right? It's such an awesome-looking ship.

[@victormalych]

I love this ship

[@frankwhitaker9408]

VanguardOfHonor: *Looks at 3 pixels* ‘Yeah that’s an ion weapon’

[@VanguardOfValor]

It's the most efficient setting!

[@DarkZwie]

Can't believe how much luck you have with the random events. :D

[@ShadowKnight9002]

get well soon

[@kabouters7]

YEAH FTL

[@danielcardenas8623]

I saw the ship in the thumbnail and I was like:What the- is that and why does it look so impressive?

[@slowriderxcorps]

Well I can only guess that it was something to do with the part of the collab mod from diversityMod. What I run is fairly similar in terms of all the parts that are put together, but it also has a few other things I tweaked personally including removing Lv10 Shields from those enemies which can spawn with them, fixing the flagship's gibs so all the weapons don't look like the laser turret when it blows up, as well as renaming a few things here and there. It was so satisfying to put together.

[@VanguardOfValor]

Not planning on it, but we'll see, I suppose.

[@VanguardOfValor]

Yeah, it's nice to make things be exactly like you want them. :P

[@merlin5356]

VoV I know you say to change the x and y positioning but I cant seem to get into the files because its a .ftl and there aren't any other files with it. Can you help me?

[@XabeskullX]

You sir are a great youtuber

[@Cut2daChase]

SO GOOD

[@danieltynersr.danielr.tyne5017]

T

[@VanguardOfValor]

They obviously liked the prize because they never came back to complain.

[@TheGrandMasterPotato]

Kieve hasn't changed the event text yet, but yes, that's the idea.

[@Korath80]

Don't forget your Viper playthrough, shield piercing ion weapons ionize for 1 damage both the shield and the system hit, try to aim the EMP rocket somewehere else next time you find a ship with only 1 shield bubble ;)

[@VanguardOfValor]

You shouldn't actually need to change the position anymore. Kieve updated the mod to fix that problem.

[@liambellew1299]

If renaming crew was possible, I'd rename the rockman Oddjob. He's mute, loyal, and strong beyond belief.

[@liambellew1299]

Well, the first one.

[@chrisbrown-qu7dn]

it is possible ive done it before (you can do it whenever your out of a fight)

[@VanguardOfValor]

Funny, it never even occurred to me that the enemy didn't normally have access to Dual Lasers. Whoops. :P (Also, the collab mod is something I made myself from other mods, so it's not like anyone is going to update it but me.)

[@VanguardOfValor]

I'm still making videos on it, but I'm trying to not just post a whole bunch of videos on one thing. I don't have a set schedule either for a couple of reasons, one of the big ones being that this is exam season so I'm a little bit tied up in the real world right now. :P

[@fadedsun303]

What mod is this planet redesign mod? I love it! Would I have to erase my previous planet and background mod to use it?

[@Chyllstorm]

Crispy, crispy mantis kabobs.... Mmmmmmm! Great, now I'm hungry. >_>

[@Chuthulhu123]

Cool thanks I'll give it a look

[@VanguardOfValor]

Yeah, the Arc Beam wrecks people pretty nicely.

[@MrTubeofyou2]

Nice videos

[@VanguardOfValor]

Well, as of right now, this is what we've got. Kieve hasn't made the rest of it yet.

[@noogai3212]

So let me get the ship's lore straight, The Archon is a rebel cruiser and in the complete mod, you are fighting the Federation?

[@VanguardOfValor]

Yes.

[@654321dj]

Only haveing 2403 subscribers is surprisingly low especially sense all of your vids are amazing

[@slowriderxcorps]

I still find it curious that you're still running the collaboration mod in a form where the enemies actually get Dual Lasers, since they can't use them in vanilla FTL.

[@ProgenitorFoundry]

you sir. are a god

[@corbettcondray]

Thank you

[@RaBBiTz13]

Wow u are doin good

[@victormalych]

Omgomgomgomgomg YES, just YES

[@Chuthulhu123]

Do you need to have the ship these mods replace unlocked to be able to use them?

[@Chuthulhu123]

Right oh, thanks for the reply

[@VanguardOfValor]

Heh, glad I could send a few people your way! :D

[@VanguardOfValor]

Hey, at least he knew it was a possibility. :P

[@MRstefanGJ]

Have you ever tried out the infinete space mod? Its realy good.

[@fishbone937]

You still alive? Miss your vids man.

[@alfredwinchesterjr]

someone should do a HD remake of this game where you actually control how your ship flies because in game, both ships aren't just floating shooting each other, they are flying around and shooting each other and the game doesn't show that very well on its own at the moment.

[@VanguardOfValor]

Heh, it is appreciated all the same. :P

[@victormalych]

Will you do Stardrive?

[@VanguardOfValor]

If you don't have the ship unlocked, you won't be able to access the Incursor, no.

[@MinecraftWarrior22]

That looks like the raceships from Oban Star Racers

[@nini_stols]

omfg that voice that sweet voice i'll sub

[@therandomlaniusedward2140]

What is the music in this video?

[@A16080]

Thank you for answering :-)

[@audymaulizar6697]

31:12 is the dictionary definition of FUCK MY LIFE.

[@Yognaught0me]

will you do a unit-command game like star wars empire at war, or starcraft 2?

[@bobrandomness1055]

On the iPad there are no annotations so can you put the links in the description

[@rinu4370]

oh damn your voice is smooth

[@BaconSizzle48]

"Well congratulations! For your reward, you get burned."

[@TheHappyDude124]

Oops I meant to put this on your Arwing ship playthrough. Your still awesome, though.

[@A16080]

Can you say a bit more about the mod and/or add a link which does? (it seems that this mod is a part of something bigger and i'm intrested about it).

[@maxrack1]

VoV the pyro

[@CatatonicShrimp]

to me, the ship seems like it has a similar art style to the hyperion corporation from borderlands

[@angusberg7594]

Im on mac and get access the file in order to change were the ship is on screen, can anyone tell me how?

[@VanguardOfValor]

Check out the subscriber special I just posted then! It's all about how to make a ship mod. :D

[@tom1234567890ve1]

I just downloaded the mod and I dident get how to change the positioning and all..when I tried to open the file and edit it a whole jumble came up so any help? thx!

[@anne-marieallison4180]

Crispy crispy mantis kababs...... Yum

[@mrbruh6687]

Anne Gatt sounds good

[@scaffolding6952]

FYI : Crew at the door controls and sensors are very useful.

[@scaffolding6952]

+Colbeat 505 Nvm… this appears to not be the newest version.

[@skulkerbro7603]

+Colbeat 505 Yea That was before AE was released and sensors and doors got upgrades for being manned.

[@garethwyn9104]

cybyrtron is in that mod if you have the time jech the end of the video

[@aws.al.j]

I like

[@youngbeard]

Good grief, that ARC Beam is overpowered. Compare to Anti-Bio Beam + Fire Beam = total of 4 power. Plus the ARC does direct system damage.

[@andreisanarov7288]

I would listen to the music but.... I only have 9% left and I can't keep enough power efficency

[@Sniperwolf0824]

Where can I get one?

[@Milou-zm2ml]

I need this mod ! He is so Beautiful

[@StarSmasher101]

do the sonata mod it's a AMAZING total conversion

[@rb.r9954]

ship Dark Orbit ?
