Last month I've spent all my dedicated project time by trying to animate fire-fighting sequence by throwing buckets of water. Just can't do it, too few pixels for my skill level :( I will just have to do a water hose...

Ah, decided to start with cosmetic insignificants I see. Why not implement the core functionality of your mod first, including making canon fire-inducing weapons instead of worrying about putting out fires which no weapons yet cause?

This is a minor graphical thing, what about the pirate gameplay in the opening post? :)

Hi guys!
Small update from me:
I'm extremely busy IRL currently so don't really have time to dedicate to this,
however!
I will be back and with considerably more free time after 15th June
I really appreciate the contributions everyone's making, and we will definitely get this done eventually!
All ships I have created include custom weapons, graphics etc:

So, are people still working on this? I haven't checked up in a while, and it seemed kinda 'dead'.

Lighter than Air, the steampunk mod for FTL has made some significant progress. Many ships have been done by a Sir, and Gencool has created the sprites for the crew which are from a side view rather than a to down view. it's really well thought out too. If done right, that mod could become very popular.

After that is done, I the next step could be a naval based mod overhaul like this. There are a lot of pirate games, but the style of FTL could make for something really unique. The hardest part is trying to come up with how the different systems and UI and stuff would work. I can see breaches and oxygen becoming something dealing with taking on water, the O2 warnings could be replaced by water. Teleporter could just be a raft and the, luckily the enemy ship actually displays the teleporter pad images. But how would power even work at all? It could just be imaginary crew perhaps. :idea: Sensors could be a lookout tower! which works with the whole "manning" thing now. How do the different races fit in? These are all questions to be considered when making a complete overhaul...
