Custom Ships

I've played FTL for a while, and installed some mods, but I'm having issues with custom ships.
I can install other people's ships just fine, but whenever I create my own I'm having some issues.
I use the Slipstream mod manager and superluminal to make ships. I've tried so many different ways of exporting them and making them .ftl, but I always get a crash when I go to a hanger. I have no idea why.
Maybe someone who is experienced in modding and superluminal could help me?
Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks all of you, I figured it out and it was having Artillery System that was causing it to not work. It works fine without artillery, though the sensors and doors do act a little strangely, but not being AE compatible that's to be expected.

Superluminal is not up to date yet, so ships exported with it have to be manually edited after exporting to make them AE-compatible.

I don't know how many ways a properly built ship made in Superluminal can cause a crash, but the only way that I can think of is if the ship has an artillery system.

edit: I guess 0x0 rooms crash too, but I don't consider that as properly built.

0x0 rooms, missing <offset> tag from layout.xml, and I think there's something new in shipBlueprint, but I'm not actually sure about that (haven't checked that thoroughly yet)

I think you should just put up in bold and large letters on the Superluminal thread: SUPERLUMINAL IS NOT AE COMPATIBLE.
