I think it's time to Make the Extension of Crystal Clear Iocrym official as an upgrade
to the In Game Iocrym, being as there seems to be a hint of Upgrading going on anyway.

I like the concept of re-purposing old ships, such as :
the Old Penitent ships going to the Sisters
The Old Sothos going to a low funded faction
The old freighter image being redeployed as an Auton
( since it looks like a modern "Mule" anyway)

There is also a station image :

The Old Iocrym ? Ship Museum in STK to go along with the Iocrym Monument.
Say : move the Monument and encircle it with the old Iocrym ships and a station with a dockscreen to explain to the exploring player that these were the Original Iocrym that were met and since had been inactive since the accord was struck and I think this should help the player appreciate the New Crystal Clear Iocrym & the fact they have a history with space explorers and simply aren't something they have to deal with in Heretic : it also might help with understanding the Archives better to see the Iocrym aren't the bad guys...they just have business...
( if they never actually met the old version in battle or played older versions of the game, I think it would be great to give them that piece of history. )

I would support changing over the sprites to the clear version.

*** Sorry, I had an argument w/ the Russians.....they lost my business, so the images are gone.
I 'll have to find another host for images.

wow, i'm really happy that other people are actually enjoying my renders.

For this to go into the main game is a bit far fetched. Unfortunately I used Bryce to make the renders, and I think, for the sake of consistency, the new renders must be done in Truespace so that George will be able to update and reuse the materials to make new stuff.
