Hmmm... What kind of background should I be using? Setting the background to transparent usually turns it white...doesn't it?

The renderings you have done arn't on a total black background. On my computer they are slightly lighter than black which means they will not become transparent in game. Is this just my computer or does anyone else see it?

Nope, I notice it too. It's like an extreamly dark grey.

Hmmm... It could be the background changed when I brightened the image.

Actually, that makes alot of sense

Oh well, back to the drawing board

Yeah sorry to tell you the bad news!

If i have any suggestions it is don't cut the edges off images like the fleet and fighter Groups. (That doesn't sound clear) What i mean is try and get all the ships in group images into the image and don't cut any in half etc. In my opinion it ruins the shipset slightly (is that an oxymoron? )

As for Praise i really like the ship lighting detail e.g the window thingys lol. It makes it look really alien, i only just noticed it on the large Version and i have to say nice addition. good luck

Seems it's impossible to download the shipset from your page, Katchoo ?

I think he's been waiting on my race portrait, but I mailed a finished Version yesterday.
