Are my Borg ships too dark?

[Ed Kolis]

I'm working on a new Version of my Borg shipset (I wanted to do something new but I have no graphical skill so I decided to redo my Borg shipset as they're all simple geometric shapes!) and I got pretty far but I'd realized early on tha the ships are kind of dark. But I still didn't want to start over with rendering the cubes and stuff (I don't have any sort of batch renderer or anything), so I thought I'd ask here. You can get what I have so far at http://www.geocities.com/edwardkolis/borg.zip you might have to type in the URL to your browser since Geocities doesn't like remote linking. I like how the ships are dark, see, because that's the way they look on Voyager, but I'm afraid they'll be too dark to see in the game. Oh, and by the way, if you like the satellites, I'll tell you they were an accident - I had intended them to look like the mines but with only 1 stick going through them vertically, but I accidentally transposed the height and width of the cylinder and I liked the results much better! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It's way too dark. I tried increasing the saturation within PSP7 - which helped. Auto-contrast also helped but it may make it too light for you.

When I used it along with the color saturation control - I ended up with a dark gray - green speckled cube.

I thought it looked good that way.

Thanks! Guess I'll have to go and edit that texture and re-render all those pics... or fiddle with the contrast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif oh boy that will take a while... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
