With an image that small, you are unlikely to suffer from jpg artifacting. Play around with different quality settings, using the lowest you can without artifacting (for something loaded from the server so many times, it is polite to optimize file size).

one question , i have tried some modding ,but i have a doubt about the

"Damage Points To Kill One Population := 1500000"

as you can see i incresed the factor to hell , but still the ppl dies , i mean with 4 frigates they die aroound 8-9 millions per pay, and there isnt difference with lower numbers, the variable works?? or im wrong -and how can i make it works-

There is a minimum 1M killed per shot, no matter how high the setting is.

dont know, but it seems that no matter how i change that variable there isnt any difference

anyway, then how can i reduce effectively the ppl casualities?, specially in early game i find somewhat unfair and weird that i can destroy complete colonies with only one escort, maybe with...

Planet Combat Defense Modifier := -200

btw what means "-200"?

It means the planet has a -200 penalty to its combat defense amount.

The individual damage types override the value in settings.txt...

From a DamageType.txt entry:
Population Amount Killed Per Damage Point := 0.25

[CosmoLizard]

are you sure that there is an DamageType.txt in SE4, if thats true where is? i cant find it

about the planet combat defense amount, that is for all the planet and defense bases and stations, also for ground combat?, or is only to reduce the damage done to the planet -without counting anything else-?

im clueless i thought that with the setting variables i could reduce the ppl killed, after some test it seems that it dont work..

SEIV doesn't have that file, no.

The -200 doesn't reduce damage, it *increases* the planet's chance to be hit.

Sorry. Ignore my comment about damagetypes.txt - it was one of those SE:V vs SE:IV mixups.
