The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

[Andrés]

You’re right Geo, DevNull mod adds new vehicle sizes, but uses the standard pictures, new shipsets should work alright.
But, when you’re creating a shipset, either if you’re drawing it from scratch, or using pictures compiled from some sci-fi source, can easily make or find pictures for those extra sizes.
But what would be the point of creating for example a Prospector picture, if it’s never going to be used.
Modification of the mod would be that, once we agree on a standard, use s_j’s proposed program or manually duplicate pictures and modifying the vehiclesizes file to use at least some of them. That way if you add shipset with extra pictures, the new sizes will use the new pictures. (I’ve been experimenting about creating extra pics for standard shipsets look at the attachments)
I hope this makes our objective clearer.

We’re dealing with pictures here getting the AI to research and design according to the mod is a completely different problem, and I don’t think that that can be standardized.
