Also, is there a reason the black>red gradient in the oolite-logo1.svg file is colour-banding so much? Or is that just me?

It is the conversion from png to svg. I'm no expert on how to do that. I tried using Inkscape but I think that someone talented with graphics needs to design the svg properly based on the png. I'll try just using the png for now.

The image oolite-070A.png appears to be synthesized and not an actual screenshot. The lighting on the Cobra seems off and cbr has mentioned that it is inserted in the image for effect. Best to substitute it with an untouched shot.
Yes good idea. I made this one from the Ship Library: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... te-008.png

I have made a new release to FlatHub with updated images and corrected build date. I've also taken the liberty of updating the flatpak in the 1.92 GitHub release to this version so that anyone downloading it that way will see the nicer images in their package manager and have the correct date displayed at the top of the game window.
