I didn't actually take the time to that. Improper or lacking capitalization in other people's writing says to me "I don't care enough about this to write it correctly, so you don't need to read it." Also, I don't have UQM installed at the moment, so there was really no point.

i dunno wat ur tlking bout theres nuthin wrong wit writin in a more relaxd style. what is ur problem dood. big wrds nd no uqm? srsly not kewl!

Don't write like this. Seriously. If anyone tries to bandwagon this I will hunt them down and punish them. It's a one time gag people.

I actually hit the quote button so I could read this properly, message received Luki....

It's an awful large icon to tell people nothing. The other day I says Luk was online but there was nothing I could do about it, no chat or anything. That's what this forum needs, a chat that pops up if you're actually here when others are online.

Gotta make that for my forum.

"awful large icon" - I could say the same thing about Avatars and Signature graphics

Fortunately, phpBB has lots of mods and has steady releases every few months. Maybe they'll add new stuff to the core software. We're going to take a slow and steady approach with mods. I want this installation to last another 5-10 years.

If you have another graphic ready, please e-mail it to me or Lukipela. I'd love to update it.

Found it. Here's the pic. I'll send it to Lukipela too.

I know it's a little bit big, but when it's smaller it looks more like a paperclip than the Vindicator. You really need to see the pods and thrusters to see that its not just an insignia or logo or multcolored cockroach, but the ship itself. On the other hand, I could've gone for a caractured version of the ship with fewer pods and thrusters, but it might have not save much space over the actual design.

I'm posting a picture with the icon rescaled to different sizes so u can see what it looks like that way and included in the upper left corner is an old version of the vindicator I tried to make really small that made me think it looked like slug, or battery power guage.

You could always use the ingame Vindicator as a reference. I got it to 31x15 without compromising it's look.
