Yes, they are plain white: From "Honor Among Enemies" - "...she (AMN Derfflinger) was a haze grey instead of white both the RMN and PN favored". There must be some other references that RMN ships are all white. Actually, I used "faze" texture !

It can be seen with 1024 resolution but not with 800

Nice set. Two minor quibbles, aside from the already noted name bug.

-you forgot to delete mephisto's terran_ai_general file.

it's included.

-Seeing Manticore with 50% trade is really, really ammusing.

Yeah, I just picked up the first race at random as an AI

Sorry about that.

The "real" Manticore AI should have "natural merchants" advanced trade, "merchant" culture and some trade bonus I think.

Is that a Grav Lance sticking out of the Escort? If so, nice touch

Hmm, No, it just happen.

What is the SE grav lance anlog ? Shield generators killing weapon ? It would be nice to include it into some designs !

I forget the exact effect of the Grav Lance, but something that goes through shields and burns out shield generators would probably fit the bill.

Is it possible to ram a ship but not destroy both ships? The Grav Lance was a ramming weapon, wasen't it?

No, it just has a very short range. In HH universe, where ships fight each other millions of kilometers apart, it was quite close to ramming though

But white is not silver. They look silver to me. Maybe some sort of a texture could be found to make them look like they are 'painted white' instead of a plain, featureless silver?
