Paris class frigate

Post by agigabyte »

This ship is under construction, it has no gibs, and is missing custom weapons and drones.

Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pw8sjg98q2h3xds/Frigate.ftl

No pics yet, they will come later. :D

Update changelog: Removed second bl1 and replaced artemis with letos.
Removed artillery.
Reworked layout. (Tip room still covered by enemy portrait but the door is selectable.)

It has some potential.

but here are some suggestions I have...

-move the ship to the left a bit, it's to close to the enemy and makes it impossible during combat to open the airlock on that end of the ship or select people in the artillery room
-maybe remove some/most of it's starting equipment or replace them? It's double the kestrels equipment + an artillery.
-lower the weapon level a bit?
-you forgot doors on the lower left rooms, when I had a fire there it became quickly annoying and when my O2 room was down those fires suck up my Oxygen faster.
-If it is meant to fit the ftl art style, then try darker outlines.
-half or so of your rooms are stretched, to fix this you need a pic that fits the dimensions of the room, not 100% sure on the exact numbers but you can google it easy, if your using vanilla rooms, use a 2x2 image for a 2x2 room, use a 1x2 image for a 1x2 room, etc. rather that or you make custom 3x2 room images.
-maybe use vanilla room sizes? you can manage it easily and it helps you have less stretched rooms, not also that but it attracts a Wider audience because some people just love vanilla rooms.


Sorry if I seemed to harsh ^^; I do like the ship though, it looks nice.

35 pixels horizontally.
35 pixels vertically.
35 pixels X 35 Pixels = 1225 pixel²

Your question is how many pixels there is in a 1x1 FTL room, the answer is 1225.

if you want to know how many pixels it is per side, it's 35.

I'm going to give this ship a try, but to be honest you really should post some screen shots with the OP. It gives people an idea as to what they are downloading. Not trying to be to critical but most of the mods you see have at least a screenshot of the ship in the hangar,

imgur.com is a great place to upload the images and they you just have to put the direct URL in between the Img Tags.
I make mods sometimes. Check them out maybe?

EDIT: Had to go to bed before I could playtest, you will have it this evening.
