I'm drawing outlines right now, which is what's taking so long - the color/shading took minutes.  Once I'm done, changing what's inside the outline will be easy.  Stay tuned for the first draft before I go to bed...

Somebody playtest and get back to me.  I'll be here all week.

-Turns out the palette doesn't do true greytones; it'll be exactly what's displayed below, but dunno how that'll look in-game.

Thanks, BU. I think that's too bright, though. We want it to fade into the background and not attract the eye.

Okay - I totally misunderstood the point, them.  I wondered why y'all thought darkening the dull things would make them show up better.  I'll do something else and post.  Making them all brownish might be the thing.

Is that good?

Having technical problems saving a version run through Photoshop for testing.  Hold on...

Try this - same except I think I turned all the black back to semi-transparency.

I'm afraid I probably still prefer Plotinus' originals. These are better than the first bright ones, though. They just still seem too bold somehow.

What do you think?

Brown version I like. Will look weird for sea bases, of course...

This time at sea. Actually looks alright. What do you think? Better than plotinus originals or not?

...Unmistakable that they're turned off, if you know what's going on.

I have something strange going on with my machine, and I think I better reset.  Track down the hacker and kill him if I don't come back...

The boundary between cold water and warm, the Thermocline, has been important to undersea warfare for hundreds of years of man's history. Now we have found away to harness that power for constructive purposes. Once what cloaked us can now feed us. Once what shielded us from death, now brings us life.
