Hi Lucien,
as far as kitbashing goes keep resizing to an absolute minimum, you will almost always be able to tell that certain parts have been changed in size. If you HAVE to resize take a look at the INTERPOLATION
your resize tool uses. And upscaling something on that pixel to pixel level will most certainly never work ( at least not in a statifsfactory way )
Here is a link if you want to have a quick overview of what interpolation methods gimp uses

Bug Reports & Support / "outOfUsesSound" on cooldown timer
« on: August 19, 2014, 04:05:07 AM »
Hi Alex,
not really a bug but i just found out:
If a shipsystem uses a "outOfUsesSound" the game will wait for the cooldown timer to run out. Even if the remaining charges are zero.
you decide if noteworthy or not.

really awesome sprite, really really well made. The only problem i have is the readability spinning animation.
The warping effect is to obvious (maybe it's just me). A higher contrast (highlight shadows) could help i guess.
At first i thought it was a conveyor going from one ship to another. Then my brain told me it could also be two spinning wheels.
here's a rather quick edit
And it's still arguing

@Zudgemud
The colorscheme is roughly the same, but there are some more color splashes on the ships as before (Markings, coloured plates etc). This is due to the anullment of the former High Command (after the destruction of the ice moon Thule) and the subsequent rise in power of the individual shipkins.
sample shipkins:

Yeah it's a Monark and i'll have to tackle this monster, sprite is still to "clean"
here's an ongoing WIP of a WIP of a new carrier

hmm, maybe, the desert could still be explained due to high levels of acid or salt? Maybe Pardot Kynes knows

1/3 of our earth is desert too, despite 72% of it's surface being covored by water.

@Helmut
I hear you, i still like the old sprite quite much but on the other hand it really looks old and worn out too.
@Xeno
I added some lights to the sides, and made the gradient a bit steeper. Better now?
The sprite is not done yet, but for now i let it rest, have to win a bit of a distance to it first.
