The AI [...]
Oh interesting; thanks.
It's funny that I'm making a ton of stuff and yet I'm always ignorant about all the technicalities. My plan basically is: "Hopefully everything will be alright!"

I'd like to, but the grey in the palette doesn't "work well"; I don't know how to explain- I don't even remember actually, only that when I tried it it was bad.

The palette for the UI is different- no wait, you're talking about the Battlescape UI? I didn't think you could change the color of those buttons.

This is likely the biggest human craft.

Are you going to use the Transtellar logo from Apocalypse?

Apocalypse's logs are really cool. I don't have Transtellar in my mod; the only corporation straight from Apocalypse is Megapol, which is still "to do" though.
I wanted to have an external wall with a logo, but I think I'm done with crafts for now, I hit the MCDs limit (also logos on curved walls are difficult, since you have so few pixels). The whole craft tileset is very modular now, so I squeezed out some room for more MCDs, but I'm waiting in case the playtesting tells that some tiles are needed (I suspect I'll need an external stair-ramp for example).

Hmmm, the MCD limit for each craft/UFO is actually 253 entries, so I'd think you'd have more than enough for those extra tiles with the logo but I have no idea of how you are using right now.

I was at 270~280 (and I added more since then). I don't know how many entries I use now because the number depends on what libraries the craft uses, I just check that the map saves correctly and I'm good. Hence the policy is to add only absolutely essential tiles; Logo is cool but not essential.

To me cool is means essential, so I hope that you find space on the libraries to add those logos. If you need any help/advice with the MCD files let me know :)

Or you could design your own logo to be your personal signature on this mod ;)
