Besides the old SC2 races, the Heralds are the only race I liked in SC3, and of course the Eternal Ones.

If the Pyrochette picture isint Great Cthulhu ((Eeea Eeea Cthulhu Fhtagn!)) in a hat, then where is the image from? you draw it yourself?

As I told you, is a Herald's picture from SC2.

I disagree though. It's a personal preferance thing. I like the way they look in the game. The only place they look a little odd is during stellar manipulation. And that doesn't happen all that often.

One thing I might change though is that in some places you see the flag image superimposed over the shipset background. This looks a little off. You could fix that though by shifting the background image a bit so that the part that is covered by the flag is the same as the flag. Then it would not be noticable at all.

Imperator Fyron
Um, they don't look good in the game in terms of what?
Esthetics?
Visibility?
Accuracy?
Continuity?
Realism?
Can you be more specific please.
If it is accuracy or visibility then I will do something about it.

Thanks

Edit,
Thanks Geo, will do

The flag over background thing is only a problem I think because the flag is so similer to the background. It makes it look out of phase or something. For another shipset with the flag and the the background are more different it wouldn't be an issue.

Backgrounds will look really bad when displayed in the left during game setup and in the Stellar Manipulation window (visible only in turn-based games)

Would putting a black two pixle border help?

MB i mean the old one. The one that looks like Great Cthulhu in a hat. Not the Herald.

The backgrounds clash with the rest of SE4 too much.
