Ok, so now I tried that, and what do you know, works like a charm. I would've never figured that out myself. Thank you for the help.

Huh -- that's very interesting, since there were many people who have had a similar problem of their ship crashing the game for no apparent reason. I had some suspicion that it had something to do with ship layout, but never knew exactly what it was... Looks like this year-long issue might finally be resolved -- I'll be sure to check back with this should it crop up again.

So maybe you could put a warning message in if the next room is more than 4 tiles away from another?

I have a few questions.

1# How do you move equipment in a room? So I don't get things like this: 2# Can you remove walls? Or do you have to make every room as a whole?

3# How do you load a ship? Yes, this is explained in the FAQ, but it doesn't work for me.
I was working on a ship and saved it as an .ftl file, so I can work on it later. When I load the mod and/or drag the file in the editor, it doesn't appear in the list.

1.

• For the consoles, the chair, computers, etc, you need to replace the entire interior image for that room. You can do that by clicking on the room in question with the Manipulation Tool, then in the sidebar clicking on Browse, and selecting one of the options from the context menu that appears. System will allow you to pick an image from disk, whereas Database will allow you to pick an existing image from inside of the game's archives. FTL only has images for certain configurations of rooms (1x2, 2x1, 2x2), so you'll need to create your own image if you want a 3x2 piloting room (unless you're okay with the graphic not matching the room's size).
• For the station, ie. where the crew members stand while manning the room, you need to use the Layout Creation Tool > Station Placement. You can then click one of the tiles within the room with a man-able system to place the station there, or shift-click to rotate the station. The glow image for the station can be moved by selecting it with the Manipulation Tool, and dragging it / nudging it using arrow keys.
• The system icon cannot be moved, it is always placed in the center of the room.

2. Nope, every room has to be whole. FTL only supports rectangular rooms.

3. If you've loaded the mod, then PLAYER_SHIP_HARD (assuming you didn't fiddle with the settings too much and left most stuff at default) in the ship loader should be an expandable item -- once you expand it, you'll have two ships to select from, the default one, and your custom ship below it.

That worked. Thanks.

I'm having a problem with images

How come when i go into the images and try to load a shield, it works fine, but when I generate a floor image, it doesn't work?
Vice Versa if i try to generate a floor first, I can't load any other images

Note:
I don't have any problems with the ship image
I'm loading the Federation Cruiser shield because it fits my ship (which may be the problem, I may need to copy it and rename the new one

Is there any way to randomise gib trajectories on a ship?

I don't want to set spin rates, speed and where they fly off to.
I could just throw them out at random but I'd rather have the program do it for me

So any chance that'll happen?

If I ever get back to the editor and work on a new version, sure... It's unlikely that'll happen, though. Not anytime soon, at least.
