That defeats the purpose of using PNG. PNG is designed for lossless compression. You might as well use JPGs if you are going to use overly compressed PNGs.
The are rendered at 128 x 128 and then converted to PNG from BMP. There is no file size compression. PNG images are just smaller in size over all. They take up less space on the Site. The color loss might be due to ACDSee's conVersion process.

I like the Satillites where they had the turrets on them, ala your Pandoran shipset.

just my 2 cents.

Then you should check out Phoenix-D's custom clukruk set on PBW. Big turret sats=-) It's a really cool race, and it really makes yer neutral more interesting.

hmm... clukruk doesn't seem to be listed on the race dir.

Hummm :|

Thanks for the comment, but you must understand that each race is unique and should have differant things such as Satellites and Mines.

The Satellite in the Son'a set is vertually the same Satellite that it had in the first set. The Son'a were my first Star Trek DoGa set and I have always wanted to go back and redo them.

It is incredably difficult to make decent ships with curves in DoGa and that is why I have waited so long to redo them.

I have just released my final Ship Set for SE IV the Vaadwaur, and will not be developing any more for this game. I will finish up the latest Versions of the Breen and Andorian, but after they are done, I am done.

Did you know that if you find an image from one set that you like you can copy it over to a differant set, rename it and use it?

In the Last two years I have produced over 30 ship sets and made over 20 one of a kind sets with one of a kind images. That is a lot for one person to do, and to be frank, my imagination is kaput.

I have nearly 20 different Version of ships, mines, satellites, weapon platforms, troops, fighters, bases, and so on. Somewhere in all of them there should be a few images that you may like. If not, then I suggest you give ship set developing a run and see what you can come up with. Having more sets is always a welcome thing.
