I just wanna make sure: Since you're in hardmode, you do at least have a Varia Suit or better, and the Power Beam with a few beam upgrades? Because if you don't even have a single Metroid Mod item, it could be the mod was never turned on.
But for now I'm going to assume it is turned on and you do at least have a few mod items.
As Joost8910 said, there is a possibility that the Phazon Meteor landed on a floating island. Missile expansions are actually stupidly rare, though this has been fixed for the next patch. But it's really strange that you haven't run into at least one considering how far you are into your playthrough...

I have all pre-hardmode Metroid items except for the Speed Boost. I just created a new small world (the other one was large) and the message about the Phazon meteor appeared. I don't remember seeing it when I created the large world, so maybe it failed to generate mod things somehow when I created my other world?
Anyway, I will try to find the missile expansions in this world and when I get the Nova Laser I will mine it from here... having it on the main world would have been better though (when I get items that allow flight I will check the floating islands, who knows? Maybe it really did hit one of them. But still no Missile Expansions)

For anyone like Niki who is having problems finding missile expansions, a easy thing to do is. Start up a new world it must be small, and go into the underground jungle you should find a bunch of them down there.

It's possible, although rather complicated. I mentioned earlier that I may add them for people who wanted to make custom maps or something...

Cool, because im working on one, and as of now it mostly works off of the honor system. BTW you turned terraria into one of the best metroid games ive ever played, awesome mod
Okay, so this might be a little off-topic, but I gotta wonder.... with the old 1.1 (IIRC) wavebank, there was a particular theme used for the Solar Eclipse. Does anyone remember what that remix was called by chance? Really preferred that track...
EDIT: I couldn't seem to find the old thread that contained the track list.

The song is called "Hostile Shadows", featured in the infamous album Harmony of a Hunter.
I'll put up a track list when I update the Wave Bank for 1.3 (which will be a while since I don't know 1.3's new track order).
Yes! This was it. Thanks much man! I remember back when I was introducing my wife to this... and this scared the hell out of her. It was glorious, (She panics during mob-fights, IE: Goblin Army, Pirate Invasion, Blood Moon, etc.)
EDIT: Fixed my post. Wow... really gotta get used to this new forum layout, but yeah. Wouldn't half mind seeing this return in the 1.3 update.

Yeah, I ended up looking around online and I found it on some other thread, but thanks anyway.
Hey Scooterboot,
if you don´t mind me asking, what are your plans for 1.3? I think that through the lunar event and the general space theme many parts of the metroid franchise actually start fitting into the game (... like the stardust dragon which doesn´t totally look like a resprited serris
), so are you planning to expand the mod further through new bosses/enemies/equipment/etc.?
Great fan of your mod here

I do have plans for this mod when 1.3 modding is more easily available (and more complicatedly doable), like for instance, the Morph Ball will act as a mount rather than an accessory. Even before 1.3, I planned on adding a lot more content, and 1.3 just kinda fuels how I can implement that content more easily.Hey Scooterboot,

Well then. This is certainly a mod to keep on my watchlist for once it gets updated for 1.3

Hey @Scooterboot9697, I was wondering, now that it's starting to look like we might actually have a way to use mods in 1.3 via tModLoader, have you considered trying to update this mod to it?
Scooterboot9697

I have considered, but first I either wanna wait until it's more solid and allows use of more complicated code structures, or until Terraria supports official modding (though, if Re-Logic decides not to add support for it, then I guess that option is non-existent).

It's good to hear you're keeping an eye on it, I really do miss my morph ball
I do agree though that tModLoader isn't ready yet for a mod of this complexity, though the future looks promising. I'm hoping that since it's going to be a more open project than tAPI, it will end up being a far more robust program than it's predecessor.

Well bluemagic stated that later in release he's gonna make tModloader open source so anyone can see what he's done to make, and improve upon its design whereas tAPI never got this.It's good to hear you're keeping an eye on it, I really do miss my morph ball

I thought the reason tAPI never did that was because it also contained Terraria's source code within it, which is basically illegal to show to public eyes...
Maybe I should mention this to @bluemagic123 ?
