The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

Infantry (Storm troopers, bio fanatics. Maybe or maybe not drop pods.).
I think the standard name for this image should be "TroopInfantry"

---

I repeat that IMHO InfantryTroop is unnecessary redundant, just Infantry is enough. But if you insist in that pic name, I’ll follow.

Fighters. S_J says he doesn't need extra fighter images after all, so I think just "FighterBomber" for Andres' TIE bomber.

---

Neither I do. I made three fighter sizes TIE Fighter, TIE Bomber and TIE Advanced using the Small, Large and Medium fighter pictures (they match the fighters I used in the SW-Emp1 shipset). In my mod they come with the SW racial advantage, and are smaller but this similar performance compared with standard fighters which they make obsolete and not worth researching.
Fighters I think could be useful to modders are smaller and bigger than standard, a FighterTiny and a FighterMassive.

Does this cover all your extra hull sizes?

---

It exceeds my extra sizes, but that’s not important. My mod adds very few sizes, and its not a great mod by itself.
What we need to do is to make enough ships pictures for modders to use. We can even create a simple mod using all the “standard” pictures.

Would you guys be happy to make the above changes to your vehiclesize.txt files?

---

I said that I haven’t updated that mod in a loooong time, but yes, next time I update it I’ll make it compatible.
But as I said in my previous post, it will be more important to create compatible shipsets.

Should we vote on "planetoid" vs "worldship" or "prospector" vs something else?

---

I would vote for “PlanetCraft” or “WorldShip”, something that makes clear that it is a ver big sized ship and not a stellar body.

As for the prospector/miningstation, I'm thinking we want to get across the idea of "big ship with scoops/loading bays"

---

What about a “SpecialShip” and “SpecialStation” that could have different functions in different mods.

This is the VehicleSize file from Hadrian Aventine's Ultimate Mod (about to be updated), in case you want to take a look at the extra sizes there.
