Default Re: Reducing the SE4 footprint.
RLE encoding reduces bmp sizes much more than just 256 colors.
I used paint shop pro to batch convert most pictures. Unless those pics with many minis (planets, comps, facilities, ect) and the main background, all other pictures look fine when reduced to 256 colors, some can even be reduced to 16 colors with little noticeable difference.

Edit: Pictures of the shipsets I'm uploading now to KDY are RLE encoded. Check the unzipped sizes.
