Fyron, is there a shipset background that could fit the game exept the entire black one ?

I'm asking that cause I'll have to make a choice for my pirate shipset.

What you could do, in theory, is this:

Create a shipset with 128x128 block of Bright blue for all the ships. Then play a game using that set so that you can open the stellar manipulation screen and see where the background has to merge with the ship image. Alt-printscreen it to get an image.

Now you can build a background that merges seamlessly into the stellar manipulation screen.

Not sure it will work for the race selection screen though...

Can you be more specific about what you mean though. That could really help me fine tune the set.

Thanks

NOTE:
I need email address to send set. send me email. [email protected]
IMHO, the ships I mentioned below just seem to have too many things sticking out of the main hull. I think they would look a lot better if those hardpoints were to be reduced.

This is only my humble opinion, mind you.

and here's my current email adress (without spaces)

Arghh, will the story end now??
I was looking forward to months and maybe years of reading!
It's the best SE4 story I've read so far IMO.

Not really. The ships need to be masked in too many places for a background to work.

i dunno, TC. I think they look okay. do you want them to be bigger around, instead of wider? or taller, maybe?

I like them the way they are.
