Hmm not sure it's art and animation. AFAIK we don't support variants for status effects.

I was more thinking about little fire particles that just "attack" the other ship / fly away from the fireship in all directions. It is right now indeed not possible to visualize the status effect.

Status effects not being supported is a big obstacle. This is why I set Alpha 28 as Milestone. Right now, a sound of wood being burned and some fire particles as @marder suggested are better than nothing.
At a later time, we could maybe implement the fireship in a more realistic and creative way, because it truly has potential as a unique unit. I actually have some ideas in mind.

rewording to focus on the fire issue. The ship overlapping deserves a different ticket (possibly reopen #5084 -> although at the moment the overlap is a wontfix, since it is a known tradeoff to make the boat movement at least somewhat less annoying).

Replying to Stan`:
Is this a dupe of #131 ?
Mhh I would say no, since this only focuses on status effects, while #131 is about damage in general, but you can argue otherwise.
That being said, something like the proposed patch could be adapted to work with damage in general. Could possible have some performance implication tho (when spawning new units on attack/ damage taken, being captured).
Thanks for the report (The ship overlapping is indeed a more general problem)
