Being able to mirror ship icons horizontally would be a help, since with the recent proliferation of big-guns-forward ships around here most battles will be decided by head-on confrontations, and the briefing needs to reflect that I think. Otherwise, having an icon for each ship class would be nice but is hardly necessary, and would be moot if custom classes could be defined (perhaps in species.tbl, like a subclass section that still follows all rules of AI and such of an existing class for simplicity but calls up a seperate briefing icon by default). Or for that matter, a set number of "custom" briefing icons at the end of the class list, since we can change them however we see fit.
