Could you add an actual image- preferably not a Gyazo screenshot, as those links stop working after a little while?

A hangar picture would be much more useful so we can see exactly what weapons, systems, and power it starts with. Just a suggestion bud. I like the style of the ship and was going to download until i saw that the post was basically one picture with no information on the actual ship.

Not bad for a first mod, keep it up! The loadouts seems viable and actually quite powerful. With how many missiles does it start? Cause the with the fire bomb you are already set for midgame. On the other hand there are some downsides, like the absence of sensors, but there could be further ones in my opinion. Maybe skip the door system as well?

The Hull is solid (ha!) but I'm slightly irritated by the fact that the ship looks streamlined. The asteroid ship by 5th horsemen took more of a "strap-engines-to-a-random-rock" approach and that kind of looked more natural to me. I also find the hull unesserry dark. I think it would provide more contrast to the backdrop ingame if it would be darker. All just my opinion of course.

The room layout is fine I'd say, although I personally prefer if airlocks connect to the edges of the ship (part of my vanilla coherency fetish.) There are also a lot of airlocks, together with the Rock crew that gives the ship pretty good fire protection. I guess that makes sense for an asteroid, but again, with no doors to start with the player would actually have to do something for this advantage, which might be more interesting from a game play perspective.

Thanks I know the ship is a bit powerful, but I will balance the ship overtime

please make a floor, its the only thing stopping me from using this. I would do it myself but were all waiting on Superluminal still. If its a quick thing maybe you can make a person patch for me or something?
