We have a generic item graphics why not a generic armor graphic?

Can someone make a generic armor and shield image set so people who don't do art can use something other than the Sapphire armor and shield graphics?

the wolfen armor graphics look like the wolfen I want something that doesn't look like anything but still conveys the meaning.

I know, how about you use a shield generator image? That sounds pretty good to me, except the armour will point to the generator.

I'll see what I can do about it. Am I right that the actual armor bars from the wolfen/freighter graphics can be used, because they just overlay the shield graphic? So what you really need is a generic shield graphic?

EDIT: playing around with it, almost everything in the HUD is completely changable - I believe it could even be animated, for example to glitch out when your shields are down with static and such. Might warrant a HUD mod. <g>

Turns out you can't animate them - the game just ignores the extra code. Now that I think about this I have tried it before and it didn't work then either.

I'm still working on a "generic ship shape" - I thought simple shape kind of inspired by Anacreon's ship icons might work but I'm still experimenting. But here are two displays, one with a shield generator as Xepyhr suggested and one with the reactor (I think that's less counter intuitive),

Use the wolfen or freighter armor displays - the wolfen looks good on both and the frieghte look good on th e reactor but not as good on the shield.

I made a few blank shield templates a while back so all one would have to do is put their mod ship in and go. There's circle, triangle and square blue inserts--each easily modifiable. If anyone is interested in them, let me know. I can email 'em.
