Default Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

We should try to make the standard work for the most popular mods and add more ships to it as the mods require.
But if the standard gets too long artists will never get to make all pic sizes, 70 sounds like too much.

We should try to unify image names a little as we did for the original 20 names.

Let's forget about their names, we don't want to force modders to use the name of the picture in all mods, but just as a standard name for the pictures.

Normal ships:
8 from the stock game pics + 5 from current NS = 13
Fyron seems to need more than these total 13, 4 more to get a total of 17 or can we unify some pic names?

Baseships:
The "Baseship" pic has achieved in Gold the status of optional stock file + only 1 more from NS = 2

Carriers:
3 stock + 2 NS = 5

Colony ships:
1 stock + 1 NS = 2

Transports:
3 stock + 1 NS = 4
Adding a 5th one wouldn't be too bad

Bases
3 stock + 1 NS = 4
BTW The Starbase is a stock pic, not neo-standard.

I don't know if the ones Fyron proposes should be here or in a special type.

Sats & Mines:
1 stock each
I like the idea of adding 2 more to have one pic for every stock size.
The sock names "Satellite" and "Mine" should be the medium one just like the "Carrier"

Fighters:
3 stock + 2 NS = 5
Does Fyron proposes 6 more because he needs 11 pics?
Or only needs 6 in total or 6 + the 3 stock?

Troops:
3 stock + 1 NS = 4

Weapon Platforms:
3 Stock
a 4th one is not such a bad idea

Drones:
1 stock

And these are "special" types, what mean they can't be counted as additional ships in any of the categories above.

Special ships (planet sized - Worldship):
1 NS

Special ships (starliners)
2 proportion proposals

Special ships (Stellar Manipulation)
1 NS

Special Ships (resources)
1 NS

Special Stations (resources)
1 NS

Special Troops (Infantry)
1 NS
I guess that as many mods add a second infantry we should add it, I propose to call the pic "TroopInfantryHeavy"
