As long as you design your VehicleSize file correctly, there is absolutely no need to clutter your race folder with excessive images... The neo builder is nice as a testing tool when you are making a shipset to see what you missed, but in practice, it should be 100% useless for using a mod...

Example:

Name := Scout
Primary Bitmap Name := Scout
Alternate Bitmap Name := Escort

The neobuilder will copy the escort image and name it a scout. But if your mod has proper alternate bitmaps set up to be used, there is no need to do this. The Neobuilder was useful back in the period before the Alternate Bitmap Name field was added, but it is not too useful now...
