Alvek,

A very small request (I hope). Can you please change the drop down field to white on your manual mission ui? The dark grey is very hard to see for a old fella. Thank you so much for your hard work!

It is intended to work with state ships only, but due to a bug it work with private ships too (at least repeatable option available to state only).
Same thing with transport cargo (alt 1,2,3)

I will update behavior to work only with state only to passenger\cargo commands and add UI to them to select targets.

Edit: As mining command depends on alt 1,2,3 it will be modified too.
Edit2: Added setting to enable private ships for mission. All three mission working with new UI and changes, for now looking if there is any bugs with new behavior.
How do I access of this UI? I would like to "recolonize" some planets but as the commands of the BaconMod were changed, no way to know how to do.
(Update the list of commands in the help file would also be welcome).

Load saved game, open menu -> options, there is "Hotkeys" button.

Read "Expansion mod description.pdf", it contains almost all changes made by EM.

This save was created in 1.08+ or before 1.08?

If I remember right fix is not retroactive, all designs created before fix will use old images.

Ok, I will look into it. This is your custom theme or some mod?

Please upload your Atuuk race file.

There is some black magic code that tries to find what image to use, with file numbers at least I can check what I should expect in code.

In case if DesignsPictureFamilyIndexPirates is -1 then pirates use random playable race design for some subroles and minor shipset for other.

Can't find situation where random images is possible for non pirate empire.

Any idea how to reproduce it?

It's just Atuuk. It's an old BM bug.
