You know how you have this nice big squadron badge, but then you have to squish it down to 128*, and after that FS2 only displays it in a box half the size of the border around the badge? I don't like and I won't have it :)

We need squadron badges to take up more space in the barracks screen :nod: I'm not talking about resizing the area it's displayed in, I just want it to take up more of that area.

Also, what's the status of support for interface art like squad badges? Can I use full-colour stuff? AFAICT, I'm still limited to 256 colour PCX...

Oh, and might I also add that the badges on ships always appear to be unlit, no dynamic lighting on them apparently.

As a partial workaround to that, and cos we're (that is to say, Aldo's) lazy, we'll just be making duplicate skins with squad badges on 'em. Doesn't help retail ships, I know

It's, er, an immersion enhancement addition.

Of course, removing the text is going to be irritating as hell.......
