The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

Ooooh... that's true. Hadn't thought of that.

Well, I guess we'll have to carry on as planned then.

There is also the advantage of having multiple secondary choices.
In the basic Gold, you'd have to use the basic shipset, if your first choice fails.
With this you can try a whole series of names before falling back on the basics, and, as was said before, we could require only one image to build up shipset.

This thread has been resurrected for the good of the community!
We agreed that this was still important, and we've had a nice holiday break, so here we go!

For starters, how about listing everything we've got so far?

PS: Do we have a complete list of filenames somewhere? If so, I can start on the shipset-filler program.

The list is the same one that Chewy reposted below. It's also in Dogscoff's site.

I must be going blind. I looked at that page before, but didn't recognize it .

Now, the warships are pretty obvious as to which is the secondary image. (Destroyer Heavy <- Destroyer)
The fancier images I'm not sure about, though; what chain should I use for the SM barge?
I'm thinking: Barge ->, colonyship large, resourceship, baseship, dreadnaught, ..., escort.

The other thing is the one end-of-the-line default image.
If there are no ship images, we should at least require a racial picture, (which is the secondary choice for infantry), and I could build up a shipset of that.

Zenbudo, standard Light Cruiser picture name is “lightcruiser” not “cruiserlight” and we had agreed that there was no point in renaming it to match format of the others.
You also missed the standard (medium) “carrier”, and of course satellite, mine, drone (which I can’t wait to use in gold), and weapon platforms, so you have a total of 50 sizes.

suicide_junkie, take a look at the list in dogscoff’s site, there are a few other secondary images suggested there.
