as it stands I've got the ships image to show up, and it's roughly on the screen where I want it, the game doesn't crash or complain when I load it, all the rooms line up with each other and function correctly, that is about where the good new ends sadl.
I currently have a number of issues, but only one big one.
-all the rooms are aligned with each other, but are about 1/3rd of my ships length too far to the right, don't know why or how to fix it, help would be appreciated,
the rest are pretty minor and should be solvable with tinkering

-floor isn't transparent and is casting a massive white box, an easy fix mind you
-shield is just a black box at the moment as far as I can tell, but I think that's just more a matter of selecting one and implementing it,
- no weapon mounts or gibs, shouldn't be too difficult to get on though and not really fussed.
- the thruster effect of the ship I replaced still show up in-game so I'll have to remove them.
- want to fit an artillery cannon to my ship, not sure exactly how to go about it but I'm sure it's possible.
