Sounds like the game can't find the proper Shipset pictures, and as a result it's defaulting to another race.
Make sure the Shipset you set everything up with hasen't accidently been deleted or renamed. Also, if the Gron (or is it supposed to be Gorn?) pictures are part of a Mod, and the PBW game you're involved in doesn't use that same Mod, then you may have to relocate the folder with the Shipset pictures to another folder (ie: move it to the SEIV\pictures\races directory, or to the SEIV\
\pictures\races directory.)
Hope this is helpful 
Anyone else have any suggestions?
