Sorry - I could have sworn I replied to this. Many thanks! Since I've installed the OXP manually, what's the procedure for switching over to the managed version, which I'd imagine is more likely to be updated? Just delete the oxp then reinstall it from the expansion manager? Will the saved games be OK?
You are correct, I posted in 2 topics. 8) The only modification done was to make the ships available to the ship library, therefore a saved player game will not be affected. You can simply remove the OXP and download the OXZ. Future releases will include new textures and re-design of the NPC's first so for some time the player ship will be safe. :lol:

I decided to switch over to the managed version anyway. Needless to say there were no problems.

I believe coloring the plating works better than coloring the complete ship.
Used an online ai resizer to enlarge the bitmap while keeping certain details,
All maps 1024 x 1024

Good job, looks much better than the original textures. Your work will be included in the next release of the OXP. Thank you a lot cbr. :)
