Thanks every one, right now I don't have a day job as now one wants to give me a job
For jimmyH; yesterday I found out that due to all my design work I only had around 5% of my harddisk space left and realised I'd have to delete some of my "construction" files for units that I had already finished (3d model, directional renders etc..), so I no longer have the model for it.
I use corel dream 3d, which has a fairly limited range of exports. Though I was planning on doing another ship soon, I'll try to do a little animation of building the unit.
For every one else; Iv'e noticed a little problem with the unit, when its displayed in the active unit box, (at the bottom right of the screen) there is a purple "halo" around the masts, this I cos I used a small amount of blending on the unit, to make it look smoother, figuring that any blur at the edge of the unit would be turned in to Alpha-blending. It works great in the main display, but in the little box, it overlaps slightly on to the map and it causes a problem.
I looked for some Pre-blending flics (I usualy keep a set, incase the blending is too much, the t55 has two levels of medium blending, the ironfrigate only one), but I couldn't find any. Ive already deleted the original rendering, so I will have to stay as it is for now, later I will find the frame used for the active unit box and trim the "purple" blending away from the masts.
