I noted they were PNG's. I wondered why they weren't jpg. I got a glance this morning, but then had to go to work. I assumed someone would tell you to, or perhaps change them themselves.

I actually just changed them to .jpgs - I had kept them as .png to give you guys all the colours you deserved but didn't expect this kind of response.

Wow, thanks Kwok!

No Heros though Thats too bad. Heros gave the universe a feel of.... something. Like it was inhabited by beings, not just ships.

Agreed, sad to see heroes go. The more new things the better, especially when it comes with modding ability.

Hey, who says we can't mod heroes back in? Since abilities can have custom-defined scopes (if I'm reading the feature list correctly), perhaps we can have a Hero troop unit which gives special abilities to the ship or planet it is stationed on?

Is it just me or is the ship design screen changed? Previous screenshots showed the ship layout with StarFury type slot layout patterns. These shots show an SEIII-style ship component layout.

Not sure which I prefer...

The 12th screenshot has crab-like troops in it, that probably means the game supports animated models (moving legs etc.) very nice.

On the other hand, I don't really like the square shape of the city/colony in ground combat. It blends in very badly with the surrounding landscape. Maybe the concrete pavement could be replaced by something that blends in a bit better, like a network of roads, or some more irregular shaped pavement with mountains etc in between.

You guys are talking about heroes as if they existed at some point in the past.
