Timstone, 70 images! Daunting indeed! But, I did not hear form you that it was not something you absolutely relish the thought of! More of my work for people to see!

That said, the modder's should say what images (if any) they want added to the Neo set.
The idea of the neo-standard was to minimise the amount of additional images needed by using a common naming convention and so increase the likelihood that each image is used in multpile mods.

I'm like you, I like to do loads of extra images for a shipset, but not all shipset artists are the same:-(

I don't like to make too much extra images. Not because I don't like it or because I can't. But it's the time that's involved. Now it takes me a full two days to make one completly new reasonably detailed model. I don't work every day on a new model, so I would take me aproxemately 200 days to make acomplete shipset. That's a long time to wait on an exelent shipset, isn't it?!

Perhaps instead of

Sub Set 2
Perhaps "Themantic Sets"
Pirates
Rock Paper Sissors
or by Catagory
Fighters, Troops, etc...

Timstone, just release the stock shipset first! Then make updates to that set. Like dogscoff is doing with Neo set!

Just a thought!

dogscoff, tis true not all ship artist are the same. But real artist (no offence meant) are the same. They want more of their worked shown all over!

Timstone - thie thing to remember about the neostandard is that it's all optional. You can do all the images, some of them or none at all for your shipset. It will still be compatible with all mods, but the more images you do, the nicer it will look=-)
