Tip: Change system backgrounds to solid black for better visibility

But, shhh. Don't tell anyone

That is not that good of a trick... you can still easily tell that someone has a ship in your system from the galaxy map. Only takes a little bit of time to locate it.

So I guess that only altering one picture of a shipset may invalidate it, forcing the game to use the default shipset. But you would have to ask someone knowledgeable about how shipsets are handled by the game.

For images that the game finds in the race folder, it uses. For images that it can not find, it uses generic images. One invalid image does not make the game use all generic images.
