Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce my second ship mod! Ships from the game Space Pirates and Zombies! I love the game myself, so I thought I'd show my appreciation for it by making a few of my favorite ships for use is FTL.
The Right-Hook:
Heavy combat ship
Hull-
Rooms-
This ship was a personal favorite of mine for awhile, that is, until I realized the potential of the Big Brother.
The Right Hook is basically a flying weapon array, designed to take down ships with brute force, the trade off though is that it is not very maneuverable. It also sports a missile mount for high shielded opponents, the missile mount has been conveniently modified to be able to hold any weapon, too. (Note: This ship is a little bit too long, and covers up a bit of the UI, but it hardly interferes with anything.)
Systems:
Shield: 2
Engines: 1
Weapons: 3 (4 weapon mounts)
Med-bay: 1
Cloak: not installed
Drones: not installed (2 drone slots)
Oxygen: 1
Sub Systems:
Doors: 1
Sensors: 1
Pilot: 1
Replaces Kestrel B

The Big-Brother:
Jack of all trades
Hull-
Rooms-
Ah, the Big Brother, a big, beefy ship that can function well in just about any situation. That is, if that situation doesn't involve a lot of maneuvering, because the Big Brother flies like a brick, and looks like one too. It's weapons may not seem very powerful at first, but when combined with the combat drone it becomes a deadly ship. This ship is perfect for those who like using drones but don't exactly like the passiveness of the Engi ship, too.
Systems:
Shield: 2
Engines: 1
Weapons: 3 (3 weapon mounts)
Med-bay: 1
Cloak: not installed
Drones: 2 (3 drone slots)
Oxygen: 1
Sub Systems:
Doors: 1
Sensors: 1
Pilot: 1
Starts with a anti-ship drone I
Replaces Engi B

I updated it a bit. I changed the basic laser II to a burst laser I, it now has a much more fun early game.
The Array:
Dedicated missile platform
PLANNED
The Dart:
Fast, Maneuverable, but quite flimsy fighter
PLANNED
The Sun Spot:
Mother of all drone ships
PLANNED
The Big Bus:
Crew carrier often outfitted for boarding parties
PLANNED
Let me know what you think about the ships! Also, give me suggestions on what ships I should implement next, because there are a lot more ships than the ones I've listed.

Love it. Manta Ray would be a cool, pirate-style ship to fit in with CE

Yeah, it's a cool ship, but I don't know how 10 weapon mounts would work in FTL. It would most likely be an overpowered ship, but since the Manta was also a pretty overpowered ship in spaz, I might do it.

I dunno if coding makes it possible or not, but UI-wise, if you don't give the ship a drone system you might have space for 6 or 7 weapons.

The more I think about it, the more I think I shouldn't include the manta ray. First off, we only have 8 max power to put into weapons, and I find it hard to power four weapons sometimes with that max amount, let alone 10 or 8 weapons. Sure, I could mod a higher max power, but I really don't want to have to do that for an already powerful ship. Another possibility is that I could just make it have four weapon slots, but that kind of ruins it's uniqueness. I tried to include a selection of ships from spaz that could all have unique play styles in FTL. Having a ship that's basically identical to another is not what I want to do.

First of all ty for introducing me to SPAZ (Great game).
Second you can modify the amount of max power a system can support, so it can work!(although massively OP)
Third Include a mass bomb launcher ship (custom weapon that takes long to reload but has like massive damage, maybe ion damage for ion bombs? Fire for Thermal and personal/hull damage for corrosive?)

I really like that idea, but I'd have to figure out how to make custom weapons. I'm sure I could figure it out with some google searching and maybe some youtube videos. But what bomber ship should I make though? The Helix, the Gull, or the Pounder? Personally I like them all.

I think over the weekend I'm going to try to make all three, each with a different type of bomb. The gull with an ion bomb, maybe the bomb completely disables shields, The helix with a normal bomb, the bomb would have alot of damage and system damage. And the pounder with a corrosive bomb, with no system damage or shield piercing, but insane hull damage. I plan on making the bombs modified artillery beams that shoot one massive shot, so that will be pretty interesting. The artillery beam got me thinking too, what if I made the two mother ships, with their titan beams as artillery beams... I like that idea too.
