Ah yeah, interior graphics would be nice too, I may end up drawing them soon. While white floors with grid are okay, I would love to see dark rooms with lights and props to aid the atmosphere of the game .

The ship stats are in xml files in data.dat. The ship pictures are in resource.dat in the /img/ships/ folder.

I like the ship designs of the vanilla FTL, but I wanted to add some minor details to make them less schematic. If you redrew or recolored some of your ships, please share. It would be neat to pilot the ships which you've changed visually ;) . Right now I only have The Kestrel and The Torus. http://...

Nice tutorial. It should also be easy to add your weapons to shops and enemies, you just need to include them in appropriate xml files.
