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.

Thanks for the report (The ship overlapping is indeed a more general problem)
