Gorgeous looking. Nicely presented as well. Can't wait to play it.

EDIT - If you're having video recording issues you could try Gregion. Bit of a handfull to set up but works surprisingly well.

Thankyee! ◠‿◠

@Ultramantis: Thanks for the link! But i was able to make it work simply by trying to record again. This was my problem: the recording looked as if everything was shifted half a pixel diagonally, all the lines looked blurred and i don't understand what caused it. I saved that program up though, just in case! : )

So yeah, video is up now.

So we got Lemmonade and TaxiService with awesome hulls and both came at a similar time.

We have been blessed with wonderful hulls.

I like the idea, and the hull looks good, but I'd make two suggestions:
1. A smuggling ship really should have a cloaking device.
2. The plasma cannon is a bit bland. Maybe consider spicing it up with system damage or a fire chance.

Hmm. I agree about the cloak. And yeah, spicing up the plasma cannon would be a good idea actually. I made it thinking about Halo 1 plasma pistols, which when overcharged would release a shot that would act as an EMP, so that's why I didn't think about adding more effects to it. : |

You know what, i'll add a cloak and some fire chance to the PC. I am reluctant to add system damage to it because it is already quite an OP weapon, being some sort of copy of the heavy ion that requires less power to operate. : P Updating...

EDIT: updated to 1.1. Now the ship starts with cloaking system installed, one more reactor power and the plasma cannon has 3/10 fire chance.

Looking good. Maybe give it an FTL booster?
