Re: New Race: Tessellate
The flag over background thing is only a problem I think because the flag is so similer to the background. It makes it look out of phase or something. For another shipset with the flag and the the background are more different it wouldn't be an issue.

Re: New Race: Tessellate
Backgrounds will look really bad when displayed in the left during game setup and in the Stellar Manipulation window (visible only in turn-based games)

Re: New Race: Tessellate
Would putting a black two pixle border help?

Not really.
The backgrounds clash with the rest of SE4 too much. |

Re: New Race: Tessellate
The ship portrait is placed transpatenly over the star background in a similar to how mini pics are always used to make it look it's in the middle of space.
A background or if the whole ship does not completely fit inside the picture will ruin that effect.
A not defined border that blends into the star background may be more acceptable.
It's your choice if you want to keep a background that makes ships look crudely cropped in those situations that are not so common anyway.

Andrés Lescano and Geo
Thanks for the comment and explanation. It is good input.

"The backgrounds clash with the rest of SE4 too much."
Well I do want feedback and I do appreciate the input.
That was something of a categorical statement. Considering the sets you have indicated you like I suspect that even if they had a solid black background you would not care for it.
I’m working on a “Escherism” set. I wonder how folks will like it.
