Yeah there were many more SE3 shipsets than SE4 ones, and many of them are very cool.
I guess that it's because it's much easier to make or edit a 32x32 bitmap and you don't need any special graphics program almost every player had created at least one shipset.
For SE4 you need to draw larger and more detailed portraits, for what you need some graphics program, 3d for almost all of the shipsets, although there are a few 2d exceptions such as Trooper's Pexlerr (BTW their flag looks very similar to an Islamic crescent to me)
Anyway, making an SE4 shipset is much more complicated and therefor we have fewer shipsets.
I hope that doesn't mean that we'll have even fewer shipsets for SE5.
I also have a some SE3 shipsets somewhere.
But now, as I had done with that quick conVersion you were kind enough to send me back, I want to concentrate in the 12 stock SE3 shipsets that didn't make it into SE4.
I think I had already mentioned how disappointed I was when I finally got the full Version of SE4 and found that there were no more converted SE3 shipsets than the two I had seen in the demo.
Well I'm doing something abut that now.
BTW I have completed few more ships of that style12 shipset, but I'm too lazy to upload and post them tonight.
