Alduin's Shipyard [SHIPS]

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?

are we all overlooking the fact it is the most over powered custom ship ever seen. maybe even more then the playable flagship. now it is a CUSTOM ship so i don't care given the fact I don't have to use it when its done. but maybe tone it down

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
