One Last thing,
I noticed you have baseship picture in your set named BS.bmp, if you rename it Baseship.bmp
The default VechicleSize.txt should call it in place of the Starbase.bmp for the Baseship
So you can now have both the starbase and the Baseship with different pictures.

Thanks Dracus, but I'll leave that up to the people who download the set for now. I change edit the text to work with BS.

VehicleSize.TXT in the DATA folder:

Scroll down too:

Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := Baseship
Alternate Bitmap Name := Starbase
Vehicle Type := Ship
Tonnage := 2500
Cost Minerals := 1500
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0
Engines Per Move := 1
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Ship Construction
Tech Level Req 1 := 9
Number of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Combat To Hit Defense Minus
Ability 1 Descr := Large size makes base 40% easier to hit in combat.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 40
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Requirement Must Have Bridge := True
Requirement Can Have Aux Con := True
Requirement Min Life Support := 5
Requirement Min Crew Quarters := 5
Requirement Uses Engines := True
Requirement Max Engines := 2
Requirement Pct Fighter Bays := 0
Requirement Pct Colony Mods := 0
Requirement Pct Cargo := 0

Change the:
Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := Baseship

To:
Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := BS

OR simply rename the Race_Mini_BS and the Race_Portrait_BS image included with each set to Race_Mini_Basehip and Race_Portrait_Baseship.

When I update the Races again, I will do this, but for now, the player can. Besides, its easy and it teaches the new folks how to do some basic game editing.

Acually I'd suggest renaming the files, not changing the vehiclesizes.
The name Baseship has alway been the official name for baseship pictures.
