Stealth shipsets?

Can you list a few of the sets that are hard to see? If any are mine I will try and lighten them up or make the ships a tad bit larger.

It would help to have an option of always showing a flag beside the ships, as it does if it's over a wormhole or planet.

I often had trouble seeing the Xitai and Praetorian shipsets. I improved visibility of the Xitai by increaseing the brightness level on my computer monitor. (It was necessicary to play Aliens vs Predator 2)

You can improve the visibility of any shipset on your install of SE4, just edit the shipset any way you choose: bigger, different color scheme, big white arrow pointing to ship, whatever.

Yeah, that is what I would like to see. No need to alter the ship images, just throw a little flag out there to call attention to them.

One race I remember having trouble with was Praetorians. There were a couple others, but I don't recall which ones just now.

Nice little trick is to reduce the contrast of the background starmap (the one in the Systems folder). Did this a long time ago when fighting against the Shadows. Never looked back since

I've edited a little some Xiati and Praetorian pics to improve visibility.
I have a few problems to upload it right now, but I may sent it by email iy you want them.

Edit: BTW Fyron, I get an error when I try to login with FTP into SE.net
