Nope, it's there. You just misunderstood what that is refering too. They didn't add multiple graphics for ship sizes. They added the ability for modders to create new ship sets with alternate pictures, without having to redo all the other shipsets too.
In the vehicle size.txt file...
quote:
Primary Bitmap Name := Escort
Alternate Bitmap Name := Escort
By default these are all the same, but it gives modders and artists greater flexibilty.
Do a serch on the forum for "Neo Standard" or "Neo-Standard" and you will get more details.
