Question for Elliot.

Post by drillerman »

Hi Elliot,

Not sure if this is a mistake but I noticed when browsing the ship graphics that in the "family4" folder a number of the ships were actually BITMAP images not PNG images.
I have taken a screenshot to show you. The images with a black background are BITMAP, the rest are PNG files.

Some of those bases look like a placeholder.

While on the subject.

family2 - construction, gas, and mining ships all use the same placeholder image. So do the resort and mediums spaceport. Generic base and small spaceport are the same, as well.

family7 - medium spaceport uses the large spaceport image and vice-versa. At least, it seems that way.
