I always felt like the ship colors where too gray/too dark so I though I'd make a mod that changes that!

here are some before/after:

...I have no idea what I expected.

But in all seriousness, I personally like the less-saturated vanilla color schemes. However, it does give off a feel that the ships are hot off the assembly line with new, less-dulled paint, so I'll give you credit for that.

Good job, I especially like the crystal one.

I very much like the Engi C and Crystal A recolour, good work.

I noticed recently that the ship colors were not as bright as they could have been. I'm glad you decided to make a mod that fixes that. You could do that with all the enemy ships also. If I may ask... Did you change the ships by yourself or did you use some art program to brighten them up automatically, or both?

Awesome job. Thanks again for doing something like this!!!! Maybe you you also do the mini ship images to match the new bright colors? I would like that.

Also, I was thinking maybe you should just completely redo the Nisos's colors. Check out the "racing stripe" green and yellow recolor of the Nisos from the sMPK mod. I think you could just go ahead and implement a "brighter" version of that recolor right into this mod. I don't know a single person that actually likes the vanilla Nisos's colors...

That looks a bit too dark to me. Cool though. I was talking about something more like the sMPK's Nisos. You could probably make it look even better. If you just left the Nisos with a prettier shade of "olive" green rather than vomit green that would be great and would stay closer to the vanilla colors.

You can do whatever you want with the ships though, its your mod, I was just making a suggestion.
