Race Styles

Overview

| All pictures are 24bit bitmaps. Each ship size has 2 pictures. One is a 36x36 top down view. The other picture is a 128x128 portrait view of the ship. The portrait should have the ship facing forward and skewed towards the bottom left corner of the portrait. |
| All of the ships within a style should have a common theme. It is intended that they are all from the same race, so they should have a common color and layout. Also, the 36x36 picture is the picture most commonly seen by the player. Each of the smaller pictures needs to be distinct from the others in the style. |

Naming Conventions

| The 36x36 picture should be named: [Race Name]_mini_[Vehicle Size Filename].bmp
| The 128x128 picture should be named: [Race Name]_portrait_[Vehicle Size Filename].bmp
| Notes: Some of the Mini pictures are labeled as "Top Down" or "Same as Portrait". The "Top Down" pictures are for vehicles which can actually have a facing as they move. These will be rotated by the game to the correct facing. They should always be drawn facing straight up. The "Same as Portrait" pictures are for vehicles which do not have a specific facing.
