What you are describing is the classic indication that you don't have the shipset for that player installed. When you don't have the shipset for player x in game y, the computer chooses a random shipset each turn.

However, you say that you DO have the shipset in /pictures/race. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe you have the PBW/PBEM game files in a mod folder AND you have a SE4/modfolder/pictures/race folder AND you put player x's shipset into the _default_ SE4/pictures/race folder. This would cause the changing shipset you have, even though you installed the shipset.

Another thing to check: make sure that the name of the folder matches the name used in the ship images. e.g. if the Example Empire's ship images are named Example1_portrait_battlecruiser.bmp , etc., the folder should be named Example1 , not Example .
