Yes! Finally, a shipset with ships that actuallt look like their Magic descriptions! I mean, Keel Boats that look like "normal" spaceships? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif Fantastic!

Oh, I always thought they were supposed to be energy based http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Anyone in the PVK's Proportions Game 2, I intended the Jubilex to have the old look http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
Still, nice work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

They're both very nice sets. Maybe the redesign should have an at least slightly different spelling so they can both be used without renaming?

(FYI, in case word never reached the author, I did have to batch-re-save the previous set image files so they wouldn't crash SE4 on some computers due to weird Windohs BMP format changes.)

The Manai are a magical race but I can see how you would think the original set is an energy race. More people should do fantasy style races. Hey Atrocities I bet you could do some killer magic sets. Give it a try! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

About the BMP format crashes, has anyone had any trouble with my new Eneron, Oxidran, Borak, etc? I would like to know if the problem is still happening.

To be safe, you could always just perform a batch conversion of bmp to bmp with IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com) before releasing any set.
