How did you do that; just rename?
At the time I just meant to edit the skins and create another folder for Terran empire ships, turned out to be harder than I thought. Rather than rename every ship I tried to change/remove the original folder but it kept insisting that the folder was in use and wouldn't allow it. I had to restart my computer just to rename the folder.

I haven't done anything about it but I was going to replace the ships I already use in one game so they would change in game. The terran skins are for the ships. They don't really need to be called fed as long as the x-files know what images to use. Interesting that each ship uses multiple skins, probably because they are so complicated.As for the frigate being so dark, well all you need to do is edit the picture or skin and change the brightness. I was thinking of making the hulls darker anyway, but I just did the cruiser to test, thus discovering that the text was reversed. For my screenshot it was easier to mirror the picture. It would be slightly more difficult to reverse the skin as there is a orange square in one corner.

I managed to get it working by changing all the files named "Fed" to "Abbidon". Then I did a replace in the X Files and Slots text files for "Fed" to "Abbidon". After that everything was good and all models are working great in and out of combat. Now as to brightening anything I wouldn't even know where to start. The most experience I have is adding rank to my avatar and pressing a button that says "Reduce Red Eye". I agree that the ship sets are a bit too bright; however, the frigate is way too dark. If you could lighten it some and reduce the flags that would be way to cool.

Does anyone know what this author is working on next; Klingon and Romulan maybe?
