Scrapped the plans for actual components, but here is EVERY component image that was included with space empires IV. No image mod components yet, but given time..

Just extract to images/components to install. Works fine with any existing mods and the base game, since it doesn't overwrite the existing images. 600kb download, 166 additional components.

Some of those components have "holes" in them that could be made transparent.
The Talisman and the image two rows down from it.
Plus the multitude of "webby" components.

For my copy, I just gave 'em a swipe with the MSpaint color eraser.

I know, but with most of them getting the tiny holes to work right without erasing part of the image was difficult. Not worth the time, especially since when I checked the effect didn't seem that dramatic in game.
