Just a plugin that I made that aims to replicate Star Wars (or at least tries to) in Endless Sky. During the past year or so, I've managed to create around 280 ships, ranging from one-man fighters to capital ships, all from a variety of eras and factions (The Old Republic, the Republic & CIS, the Empire & Rebels, the First Order & Resistance, and even some from Legends). Currently, there is no existing storyline or a functioning galaxy map, though I intend to finish another 100 ships before I develop other aspects of the plugin (their sprites can be found in the plugin already).
Through the magic of Adobe Photoshop, I've managed to come up with a way to reduce the file size of ship sprites significantly. By removing transparency and decreasing the colour palette of ships, many of the large capital ships have had file sizes reduced by more than half. As a product, the awful white line around capital ships have been removed as well.
What does this mean exactly? It'll hopefully mean that the plugin file size can be reduced from 640mb to 350mb (according to my predictions).
