Ship/mod request

Post by Speculator »

Thank you very much for considering this!

I am inept at modding and I have tried but only to fail.
So I have turned to people who can do these things. So once again, thanks!
For this ship, it is a boarding ship, I have uploaded a very, VERY, rough sketch of what I want it to look like. You will have some freedom to tweak it but I would like it to be close to my "sketch". For weapons I would like...
-1 Burst Laser Mk II
-1 Healing Bomb

For systems, here is my request...
-level 1 subsystems
-1 layer of shields
-level 1 Crew teleporter (made in 4 person room if you would)
-enough weapon system to accommodate all of the weapons
-level 1 medbay
-level 1 engines
-level 1 O2

Phew! Now for crew...
-one crystal
-one engi
-two mantises

I know that is a lot of work but I greatly appreciate your help.
Also, the 'sketch' is just a basis. The main body can be changed but I want it to be asymmetrical as seen.
Thank you!

Thank you very much for considering this! I am inept when it comes to modding, so that is why I have turned to you.
I have a specific ship type and equipment set in mind so here it is!
-2 Dual Lasers
-1 Healing bomb
-All subsystems and basic systems (everything on the Kestral) level 1
-weapon system must have enough slot to accommodate 2 of the start weapons at once (3 if I am correct)
-level 1 crew teleporter in 4 man room
Crew!
-Crystal
-Mantis
-Mantis
-Engi

Once again I greatly appreciate your help and work.
as for design, I want a very asymmetrical look (a cross between the Energy fighter and Mantis fighter perhaps)
You can make it different (if you want) but as long as it has the equipment and crew.
Thank you!

It is done!

not only did I use your very well designed hull graphic, I even made a custom shield to go with it.
jokes aside, it works but that's it, i haven't done anything more than make it playable, e.g. rooms don't have proper sprites or console placement, etc, though the weapon mounts are in the right spots.
this obviously isn't a serious mod ;P took like 15 minutes tops
All ships I have created include custom weapons, graphics etc:

Lol thanks it is great! But if you do have some real experience (I think I have used your ships?!) then a better ship would be appreciated. Although nothing could beat that ship!

I hope u are kidding. Dude, modding for FTL is the most easy thing in the universe. Just learn a little and do your own ships!! cant believe u are asking for a "better" version of the mod to someone that freely made your request with no conditions at all. He did the firt version, now its up to you to improve it!. Dont be so lazy and learn how to mod for FTL!!

Thank you for making me try to make my own ship.
As you pointed out, I was being lazy by asking for this. So now I am working on my own ship.
But I tried before and failed so I gave up
Thanks for the push/motivation/insult.

Dude, dont take it as an insult, i didnt mean to. But if u like the game, u should have a good motivation to learn modding. I mean, if modding for FTL was hard and tedious, i will tell u that we can help u and u dont need to even move a finger, but is not the case, u can make a mod in just 1 day. If u need specific help for some parts of the modding process, ask and we will glad to help u. But of course if DryEagle wants to continue making your mods, i will just s up, since its his decision. But i think its better for you and for the community (since we will count with another modder) to try to learn the mechanics of modding for ftl. ;)

Speedoflight,
It was a joke when I said insult, but thank you for trying to bring more members into the modding community. I have began work on my own ship, but I do need your help. I have pieced together parts from ships in GIMP. When I put it into FTLEdit, my design does not appear, but instead what it is replacing is separated from the rooms. Where did I go wrong and how do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
(And is there a way to close this thread? I'd rather just start up a new one asking for modding help not for a ship)
