Kilrathi Race Files - Complete

I haven't looked at this set yet, but I suspect that the thumbs.db is used by a graphics tool to generate organized thumbnail images in a browse screen. I have seen it before from some package, though I can't remember which one.

The thumbs.db was created by adobe photoshop 7.. sorry for the scare! I will fix the troop pict/transport medium problem and update the file like.. right now : ). I am have trouble properly fleshing out the confederation side.. if anyone knows of a good source of WC1 or 2 ship images.. please let me know!!!

Okay, I fixed the transport medium mini image, and cleared out the thumbs.db... I found out that when you view a directory with 'thumbnails' on XP it creates this little hidden/system file. Intrestingly enough the thumbs.db file was almost half the zip in size.... Enjoy!

I am nto as happy with this set as I was with the Kilrathi ships... but the whole premise of WIng Commander from star to finish was "We are here alone against the enemy" So there are alot more enemy ship images than good guys. But I made comprimises and the Bangel and Concordia will of course go into the carrier images.

Those are still amazingly detailed ships. The Kilrathi, too, are really something. There aren't many shipsets that exploit the full 24-bit color the game offers, but these will look really great in play.

Yah, those ships look nice. If you have more pictures for a particular size or class (carriers for instance) you might want to think about adding some neostandard images as a lot of the mods now use them.
