SE4 has all of the planet minis in one file, and you don't need to know the coordinates... just count how many images down the list the one you want is.

The imagemod packs even have an index down the side to make counting easier

I agree. BUT, if you were going to do a planet bmp from scratch. Wouldn't you want a program that could insert each pic where it belongs in the bmp? Or else you would have to cut and paste each planet in the proper location. It would be much easier to just have a program that does that for you. You tell it what picture slot you want it in and it puts it in the right location within the bmp.

Just line it up with the grid paper background, no prob.

Or, email the picture to however is doing the imagemod for SE5, and let them line it up

Or, have a handy program which does it for you.

I have to agree with SJ. It is no difficulty at all pasting the minis into the file in the gridlines. Personally, I'd rather have Aaron spend more time working on the game than on such a program.

Which is not to say that somebody else can't just make one if they wanted to.

2 Questions (sorry if covered elsewhere)

1. Weapon arcs (as seen in Starfury) have been removed?

2. Escort, Frigate and Battlecruiser have been removed? What are the hull sizes for the remaining hulls? Please, please, please tell me the larger ships are much larger than in SEIV...
