I am aware of the icon bug in which looking at the galaxy map and the icon in the targeting hud differ for XEN this is being investigated and likely fixed in the next version

I tested the icons together with VRO yesterday. And really like them so far. Makes playing X4 even more fun.

Two remarks:
- Destroyer icon is not my favorite. It looks not race neutral and is (only personal opinion here) not fitting a destroyer perfectly.
- There was something about the Xenon I icon. It looked totally different then Xenon K. I made a screenshot but can only share later today.

Some think the zoom is too small haha.
I tried to keep the larger ships with zoom because generally, they would lead the fleet L size and above I wanted to be basically visible at any zoom the S and heavy ones not so much they are basically like pawns for the most part but you can still tell the difference between them zoomed in a bit more.

Someone suggested I make a new icon for either the Xenon M or N as they are different threats but are both medium size I am thinking maybe I might but don't want to split up designs too much as I tried to keep a common theme among the S M and L so that you can always tell which size it is I guess I sill can if I take the Xenon M design and tweak it a little so its differentiated but still the same basic shape.

I could advise on the Xenon though as to what ships could use a standalone icon as for some Reason Xenon has XL and L size ships which operate different roles than you would expect and I simply don't know what those roles are from gameplay as I have not really fought much Xenon personally head to head.

I should update the thread tho as the icons are very much revised at this stage with additional support for XR ship pack as well.

Hi,

Quick question... Does this mod change the icons just on the Map - like the vanilla VRO Icons do - or does it change HUD icons as well? For example, I might see a "Fighter" on my HUD, but it's actually a Heavy Fighter on the Map. Basically, with VRO alone, the Map has the extra icons to readily distinguish Light and Heavy Fighters among other things, yet the HUD retains just the vanilla icons. I suspect having the HUD updated too is almost a mod in its self, if doable at all.

Scoob.

Found a bit of a bug I think. Battleship icons display correctly on the map, but off the map they have carrier icons. (Don't know if this is related to the Xenon bug or not)
