I insist that those redish backgrounds should be removed, they look really odd when randomly displayed during game setup and in stellar manipulation.

Do you think you were the first to think about adding backgrounds?

Other than that, really cool and original shipset, I didn´t have time to play against the AI but it sounds nice.

Hey MB.

I know, SC2 wasn't the same, but it was better than SC3... *shudders*

They have made a FREE re-release of the 3DO Version of SC2 available. www.star-control.com

Alot of good info on there about Star Control.

RE: "redish backgrounds " I don't know if I was the first. I have never seen the idea before. I am open to releasing a "non background Version" if there is much interest. Hmm, ya know what, I'll do it even if know one else asks.

I’d love more feed back on “backgrounds” I’m not an artist and I have terrible vision so I do see things differently.

Yea, I knew that SC3 sucks... and for this reason never purchased it.

And thanks for the tip about the 3do Version for SC2!

By the way: don't you recognize the "Aquilaeian" and "Pyrochette" pictures?

downloaded.
first things first -- zip bugs
* Tessellate_Mini_Fleet..bmp (unneeded)
* Tessellate_Portrait_Fleet..bmp (unneeded)
* Tessellate_Main original.bmp (unneeded)
* Tessellate_Medium_TransportMedium.bmp (wrong name, unneeded)
* Tesselate_Mini_Dreadnaught.bmp (wrong name, unneeded)
* Tessellate_Mini_BattalShip.bmp (wrong name, unneeded)
* Tessellate_Mini_Blank.bmp (???)
* Tessellate_Portraint_Battleship.bmp (unneeded, wrong name)
* Tessllate_AI_Speech.txt (wrong name)

those are just things i've spotted.
Beautiful shipset, different from most and nice set. Looks good together.

* Battlecruiser stands out too much - only blue warship
* Troops could be better.

overall nice set. i'll play against them some time.

Nice looking pics. I like the background. Instead of removing them I think more people should use them. I seem to recall a couple shipsets had them, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

I agree with Andrés, that doesn't look so well when the images are randomly displayed during the game setup.
But in the other hand, I like how they look in the game... then, I vote to keep the "redish backgournds".

If I'm not wrong, in the past the Colonials had a similar background.

I also like the backgrounds. BTW MB where is that old image of the Pyrochette from? Not the heralds, the older one. It looks like Great Cthulhu in a hat!

No, Lovecraft have nothing to do here!

Yea, the Pyrochette are the Heralds and the Aquilaeians the Exquivans. Always loved these pictures.
