Ship Parts
From FreeOrionWiki
Introduction
This site serves as an overview about current ship parts used to design space ships. It is created to keep track on icon creation and provide some basic information regarding this, but might also be useful for other purposes. Game relevant data might be added later, but is not a priority at this stage, since it's very likely to change.
Style of Ship Part Icons
Ship Part Icons should be as clean and simple as possible while still conveying the concept. The tech icons of Alpha Centauri are a good stylistic model. However, since some parts convey a rather complex meaning, a slightly more complex approach might be necessary.
icons should:
- Be on a transparent background
- Be recognizable at smaller sizes
- Have a strong silhouette
- Be provided in 64px*64px and in color
Symbolism can be used(see shield icons), but you don't have to. Choose what works best.
