Okay, this is really cool!  Thanks for making these!  I'll have more to say when I have time to look them all over.

Buffalo, Buffalo, Hound, Buffalo, Hound, Hound, Buffalo...

(Yeah, more ships with different skins would be nice, if the clutter issues were fixed)

Hehe, didn't notice all those until you mentioned it.

I'm surprised how different the coloration on the Sunder (U) is compared to the Sunder - I didn't pay close attention to mine, but I don't recall it looking substantially different to me.

Also, my eye is drawn to the support fighter in the SS+ set - it's purple.  We have plenty of blue, off-blue, and muddy-blue ships, but that's the one and only whose average color is purple.

These are also super handy for appreciating the scale of the game.

EDIT: Huh, I don't remember my Decurion being hot-rod red. (or my Interrex, for that matter) Is that just a result of averaging the brown greebles into the yellow?

Whoops, those are the (D) variants, nevermind!

That's probably the Decurion (D) your seeing that's red. Also the silhouettes let you see some of the smaller differences between skins better (like the difference between the Decurion and its D variants).

Am I blind or is there only one Sunder on that picture???

EDIT: Oh, for some reason I thought (U) was (D)...my question still stands though.

No, you're not blind; there's only one Sunder in the Starsector picture. There is however a Sunder in the Starsector+ picture, and I assume that it's that Sunder which is the Sunder (U) since there is no such thing as a Sunder (U) in the unmodded game and I know that Starsector+ has a Sunder (U) in it.

Hmm, there is a Sunder (D) but it seems to have the same sprite as the Sunder, is that a SS+ addition?

Prejudice runs deep.

And no, I'm not going back and fixing these.

Every week or so I check back at this site to see whether 0.7 has made its appearance. This is the first time I haven't left disappointed
