Grandsome's Better Icons

UPDATED FOR 7. 0

Grandsome's Better Icons; Based on MoistDreams Variety and Rebalance Overhaul Icon Pack.

For better ship class differentiation with both Vanilla and VRO.

(Aka its elsoworld evil twin mod)

For those who realized that even tough XR ship icons look better, they're basically unreadable at some resolutions. ;-)

Design Philosophy:

Aesthetically, the default X4 icons are a step-down from X: Rebirth, yet they are far superior  when it comes to readability.

I tried to follow the design language of the original icons, that means:

• []Triangle means combat.

  []Square means civilian.

  []Circle neutral or unknown.

  []Size is denoted by the ranking bar under the main icon.

  Following that principle, I decided for the new VRO ship class that:

  • []An inverted triangle on top of a base icon meant that the ship was of a heavier weapon class from its similarly sized siblings.

    []A circle added to a base icon would denote a lighter, or faster class of a given size.

    []Vertical lines were also added to make the icons more readable or distinct.

    X4 Foundations 6. 20 with Split, CoH, ToA, KE DLC.
