I've downloaded the latest version.
First several runs resulted in early deaths, so didn't progress much. I did visit some stores.
On latest run with Jemhadar heavy cruiser, it crushed on the very first store I encountered.

I can do pixel-art size things, weapons and crew for example, much less full-size things like the ship appearance itself. I will be needing fairly clear instructions on where to find original images for size/palette comparisons.

I've played several versions of your mod, last one being the one wih the Borg. I did not once encountered a crash. I did about 5~6 runs, mostly Romulan, I think.
The StarTrek mod is the only one applied from mods list currently.

Finally, after several attempts was able to beat the game. I would typically die to second phase of the boss. This time around managed to get my hands on hull repair bot, which made all the difference. Awesome mod!

... But u give me something to think off, for the borg ships, it will be nice to design custom crew members (but im afraid it will be almost impossible to design a borg outfit in those tiny sprites..). I hope the attachment thing works and this sprite will help you with ideas (of course you are fre...

When you just keep going you can get SO MUCH overpowered it gets funny. The cute little minibosses trying to do some damage... Awwww... 4 advanced burst lasers (20 beams volley) Pre-ignighter and two autoloaders Plus defense drone and plus anti-ship drone (for some time run with two plus defense dro...

Using Kestrel1 managed 4 burst2 with 3 autoloaders. 4 zoltans 2 mantis engie and slug

So today, after almost 700 beacons explored, I lost interest in the run. Kestrel I, with 4xBurst2, 3xreloader 2xdefence+ 4zoltans in shield room to help with the power... EVERY ship including all the bosses would manage 3 damage tops, mainly due to my lack of attention. Question is, is there anythin...

Another thing - Cat is probably not so much "Mantis" as "Zoltan" - energetic and fragile. Plus neon-green fits him so much better. I don't think it'll affect balancing much, you can just drop one energy bar or not bother - scrap recovery arm will get these 20 really quick anyhow.

Thank you for burning 3 hours of sleep time in playing the mod!
I found it to be awesome continuation experience, having played 135 hours of vanilla FTL (I just recently discovered the mods).
Thank you for the hard work and in advance for future updates.
