[SHIP] The Alpha Kestrel (Aesthetic-only mod)
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 11:38 am
I was one of the unfortunates to have not known of this game back in its development phases. Back then, the game had rather simplistic colouring to its ships which is fine enough, but there was one touch to the venerable Kestrel that was eventually pulled. After eventually coming across a high-enough quality picture from the early phases, I went ahead to see how it would've looked today.
And so I came up with this.

The mod is very simple in what it does: adding warning stripes to the airlock doors on the KestrelA, for a touch of.. I'm not sure, actually. The mod also includes a couple of minor touches from my sM Polish Kit, updated Miniship images for both KestrelA and B, as well as the separate Cloaking graphic for KestrelB.
One thing I do want to ask while this is here is whether there exists game files from the development builds of FTL in some obscure corner. I remember seeing images of the Hangar screen without the various options windows permanently embedded over them, and am sort of curious as to whether game files for that are still around..
