If I have Brainiac's Ship in play and my opponent is team attacking with two Insectoid Troopers, will the Troopers be a +1/+1 or still a 0/0?

They start as 0/0, then they get +1/+1. Each team attacking Insectoid Trooper would be 1/1.

they will be 1/1. They are 0/0, but when team attacking they become 1/1.

Why would you even think they would be 0/0?

The ship brings them down to a 0/0. Since the ship's power in continuous, I figured even if they did gain +1/+1, the ship is still in effect and would decrease the stats to a 0/0, but oh well.

I think the more important question is, why would you play those cards?

Answer: Because I want to play something original or at least different than the rampant netdecks or banal competitive decks out there.

Ahh... Well, if it worked that way then it would automatically bring down all characters to 0/0 and less. Was just asking to make sure you wouldn't have this problem when trying to figure other things out.

It is continuous but it only applies once. So any time a character gets a + to it's stats it's still just one -1/-1. So if a Fantastic Four character got a Clobbering Time played on it the net result would be +2/+2 from the printed stats barring any other modifiers.

Or an Airskimmer is in play and they'd balance out to no change. Etc.

Understood. Thanks for answering.
