Default Re: How about larger ship graphics

It would take a redesign of the entire interface, really. Everything would take up more space, because the tiles would have to be larger, the large-size pic would need to be larger. ALL the shipsets would need to be re-rendered or re-designed.

Worse, it would probably make the game unplayable in 800x600. Right now the system map is 432 pixels up and down; at 45x45 squares it would be 540 up and down, PLUS the extra space from whatever size the new large pic would be (if any).

So you either have to make the interface even smaller or give up 800x600 usability. Not a good thing, IMO.
