There are multiple in the game assets you can choose upon, but more about that later in the guide.
Interior Image: The interior image is the image that appears inside your room, which has all the machines, and computers.
You have to manually put it onto the computer in the room, or else you are going to have a floating blue screen glow in your room! However, we don’t have these in doors or sensors, even though we can man them! In the image below, notice how the glows are offset! You don’t want this to happen, as it looks ugly!
Manning Glow: In Shields, piloting, engines, and and weapons, there is a computer screen with a glow on it.
This is what causes a 4 square medbay to only have 3 spaces for crew! You can remove it though, so you can make a true 4 person medbay! In superluminal, your station placement is indicated by a purple square! Medbay also has one, but it LIMITS where your crew can stand, and crew cant stand in the spot you have a station inside the medbay. The station is where the first crew stands to man the system.
Station: In weapons, shields, piloting, doors, sensors, and engines, you can have a crew member in that room and man it for bonuses.
Gibs: These are the images that you see when you ship blows up! Its all the parts that split off your ship when you get destroyed.
These are the image you see when you go on the ship list.
Thumbnail Image: No, this is not youtube.
They are different image files because the resolution needs to scale with the ship! Or else you may have an over sized shield or an under sized shield. All the players ship shield images in the stock game are the same, they just have different sizes.
Shield Image: Yes, you can customize the shield image.
Cloak Image: Although the game automatically makes your hull image transparent when you cloak, there are still outlines and glows you want when you cloak on your ship.You can not have one but be warned! There will be an error icon in one of your rooms you can’t get rid of!.
Make sure to add one or your ship is going to look real ugly!
Floor Image: This is the floor of the ship, adds contrast between the rooms and hull of your ship.
Hull Image: This is the ship itself! The base ship image.
Some people (like me when I started out) will be confused about some terminology.
