MOD -- new ship classes

[Tenryu]

I'm not absolutely sure, Samurai, but I doubt it will bother the AI as long as it has reference to some picture named the same as the original bitmap.

It would be rather ironic if it noticed something as subtle as new ship class pics when it cann't even figure out that black holes and mine fields eat ships.

I don't believe so. As long you didn't make changes to the AI_Design files, it should be fine. In terms of the complaint, yeah I would like to have different picture variants of the same hull type available too (similar to MOO) where you could cycle up/down for hull-size and right/left for variant pictures within the hull-size. This ideal was forwarded to MM awhile ago, but obviously this is not a burning issue right now.

You can do that you know? You design the bitmaps, and place them in all the race folders. Then edit the ShipSize Text, (I beleive) and add your ships and stats there.
