New Race: Tessellate

[Andrés]

The ship portrait is placed transpatenly over the star background in a similar to how mini pics are always used to make it look it's in the middle of space.

A background or if the whole ship does not completely fit inside the picture will ruin that effect.

A not defined border that blends into the star background may be more acceptable.

It's your choice if you want to keep a background that makes ships look crudely cropped in those situations that are not so common anyway.

Andrés Lescano and Geo
Thanks for the comment and explanation. It is good input.

"The backgrounds clash with the rest of SE4 too much."
Well I do want feedback and I do appreciate the input.
That was something of a categorical statement. Considering the sets you have indicated you like I suspect that even if they had a solid black background you would not care for it.

I’m working on a “Escherism” set. I wonder how folks will like it.

Gryphin, Sorry, but I need to say this.

To Whom Ever: There is just one mini with the bright Background. I did one with and one without, Fleet_mini.bmp. So, you can chose which you like. If do not like the Bright Background delete it. The shipset will still work!

no need to apologise. I'll put the second one back and add explanation to the readme.

Now I understand!

The flag over background thing is only a problem I think because the flag is so similer to the background. It makes it look out of phase or something. For another shipset with the flag and the the background are more different it wouldn't be an issue.

Backgrounds will look really bad when displayed in the left during game setup and in the Stellar Manipulation window (visible only in turn-based games)

I agree with you here Andrés... but as you wrote later: "those situations that are not so common anyway".

Is this the picture you name "Great Cthulhu in a hat"? http://www.classicgaming.com/starcon...3/herald.shtml
They're the Heralds (Pyrochette).

If it's this other: http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/sc3/exq.shtml
They're the Exquivan (Aquilaeian).

ARCK! lol no. i know my SC3 races. There is another Pyrochette portrait before the herald. It is not 3d, and is of a green alien with a face full of tentacles and a hat on his head.

That is why he is great Cthulhu in a hat. I want to now where this image came from.
