Shipsets...an area of confusion for me!

[tbontob]

Time for Newbie question #2

When we create an empire [New game/Players/Add New], we have a number of Race Portrait/Ship Styles to choose from.

But only the pictures are given. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding name given for the race or the shipset.

So how do we get the name of the race and the shipset?

if you are creating a new race and want to use an existing shipset then you would have to type in the empire name and any other info listed.

if you want to use an existing race then instead of add new use add existing and it will give you the name of the race, but unfortunately doesnt list the pictures for that race.

edit: if you want to look at the race shipsets the best way would be to look at them directly.
go to the pictures then races subdirectories (c:\seivg\pictures\races) and it will list the races with their shipsets and portraits.

You can add an existing race empire, then click on the edit button to view/change the details of that empire.
