This ship is just my take on creating my first ever, custom ship for the FTL.
So far, I have made everything complete with only the cloak lacking.

This is still a work in progress because I wanted to know how to tweak the
image file for the cloaking, it always seem to expand and oversize. Can someone
tell me how to solve this issue?

You need to expand the cloaking image 10 pixels each direction.

Example: your ship's dimensions are 200x200p, so your cloaking image should be 220x220p.

But um- that's 20px if the original is 200x200 then suddenly, 220x220?

10 px in each direction. That is, 10 to the left, 10 to the top, 10 to the right, and 10 to the bottom edge of the image. Totalling to 20 px increase in both width and height.

Oh! Now I get it, I will try to tweak the image now.
So how do I share the file just in case?

Look at the system levels above the guns.

Oh silly me i forgot to look at how this is even more Over powered
it has EVERY SYSTEM other then the artillery beam. you know cloaking and shields. the two systems that cost. what? 150 scrap each. oh and drones (with drones on the ship) and Over powered weapons with 1 power and thats all you need to start off over powered with that ship the boss guns need ONE energy from the ship. the shields starting with one bar is the ONLY bad part of this ship

Calm down. If you feel that strongly about how its OP, at least say it in a polite, simple, way.

Ah, yeah. Um- I planned to make this ship realistic in the long run. But I don't know how either. XC

Maybe you can suggest some statistics I can apply?
Oh, and how do I change those stats to my liking in the editor?

That greatly helped! Used the instructions on the video for editing the ship again, will post images soon.

But would like to ask, what stats would fit this ship?

Pretty cool hull, dude! : ) If i may give some advice, try to look into how to shade the base image! Some relatively small changes can give it a more much tridimensional look that won't make it feel too "flat". It is a pain in the butt because you'll have to modify the gibs too, but I think it'd be worth it.

Like, when i first made a ship i checked how the shadows and lights on the kestrel were made, and tried to copy them. I'd do the same if i were in you! (well, obviously. :P) 'Cause your hull looks pretty cool!! And I'm sure it'd be even better with shades. : )

If you need help or anything else you can also hang around in #ftlgame, where modders chat, help each other and idle! (they mostly idle though, so you'll probably have to be patient. :V) Anyway good luck man! : )
