There's that - he gets results, and he loves flamboyant, high-profile projects.

Looks like a (high-heeled) shoe-in...

we have a new faction leader!
a SMAC 'Virgin' faction anyone?

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, sorta another Morgan.  Going to Alpha Centauri certainly sounds like something he'd do.

Portrait's not problem, and neither should the logo be - how about bases and diplomacy landscape?

Pretty impressive stuff sisko.

The retro-French toilet seat base look works for me (somehow) . Either are great Diplos.

Great!

I'm sorely tempted to CTRL-Q my current game, mock a faction up with those specs and give it a whirl.
It was only two minutes of cogitation, a suggestion, mods welcome.

Okay, I'm running on only a few hours of sleep, and need to take a nap, but I think I can slap something together before y'all get up tomorrow.

The 'somebody called' random event triggered and I got sidetracked, but here's the most time-consuming bit, the leaderhead, already dropped in.  Hopefully, my brain will be more functional tomorrow.

Looks V nice BU.
Weren't you tempted to chop him a ponytail like Santiago / Sven? (I think it's great 'as is')

[Buster's Uncle]

Never occurred to me...

I've got one of those 'random events' tomorrow afternoon.
(True story)

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah.

Here's the logo.  I hue-shifted the Virgin Galactic logo to a golden color.

The bases are gonna be some work...

[Buster's Uncle]

And they were, but now 'tis done.
