Having never been very happy with the vanilla ship symbols, I've made myself some new ones today

I ended up making only symbols for military, construction and exploration ships. They came out too tiny for private sector ships and the ones I tried for stations totally vanished when a lot of ships were docked.

Certainly not everybody's cup of tea, but I kinda like 'em. Maybe some of you will too

Also, can you please share your weapon effect images? Those shield and weapon effects look awesome!

Glad you like it

salemonz:
I made the shield effect so long ago I almost forgot it wasn't the vanilla one!
The weapon effects I pieced together over the years. I don't remember the names of all the mods I got them from, my apologies. The beams (9 to 14) and the torpedos are my own, though.
The tractor beam strike effect is just a recolored version of the whirly bits inside a black hole. I think it works quite nicely.
Have fun!

Status: offline 		hambango, your weapons and shield effects are stunning, maybe u consider renaming the topic and posting them in the op.
tnx for sharing!

GropHana: i think what u want is possible and its a nice idea, could work well.
personally i have removed the zoomed in ship symbols for combat ships a long time ago, they are not needed at all imo.
Now to use these sysmbols for galaxy ships could look pretty good, i gonna test it

greetings

That way only Exploration, Military and Construction ships have the improved symbols, all other ships no symbol at all.
