Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Main menu LCARS changed to white and grey, to make it different from federation screens:
Empire selection empires now in their own colors too.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
The galaxy map icon and game logo on the pop-up menu don't look quite right for some reason -- possibly because they're "silhouetted"? Not sure.
I like this alternate version you came up with above, though. Looks better.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Well, I'm trying to keep them simple, the original galaxy icon became a little chaotic when reduced to one color, so a symbol is better in that sense, makes them more uniform too, also, there were problems with the romulan popup and the menu text as seen in the image, so I changed them to what it is in the below image, Flocke's input was maybe the proverbial "last straw" in that decision.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Fine tuned the klingon red, added a hint of purple into it, to make it the opposite of green teal:

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
As far as the interface goes, I'm not a fan.
The single hue of colour is just too sterile for me.
The light green of the Romulan interface, for me at least, is quite garish.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Single hue makes it more clear, also, a real interface would be like this, as they are lit from behind, there are no shadows.
The more there are colors in one place makes it also more chaotic, imho the original botf federation interface looks like a bruise on which someone has vomited a bag of fruit candies, made to please children. Now it's more clear, orderly, adult and positive, when using opposite color combinations it's also more interesting (opposites attract).
The romulan green was a bit irritating to me too, so here's a bit darker and a little more teal green.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Thinking of thinking of changing Klingons to Kronosian Empire or Kronon Empire.
(QoNos is pronounced Kronos).
Kling-on, what's that, a doorbell sound?

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Romulan flag redesigned:
With star of the star empire
There's actually a code with these symbols, klingons/kronons have 3 edged symbol, federation 4, romulans 5, ferengi 6 and cardassians will be 7.
Here, Cardassians too:

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Cardassians renamed to Kardans (Kardassia is a state in the S.E.X Imperial Federation) and Ferengi shortened to Ferans.
Also, started renaming states, so, Romulan Star Empire is now Romulan Astrion and Klingon Empire is now Kronon Patrion.
Cardassian Union now Kardan Unifion.
Ferengi Alliance now Feran Alliancion.
If there were Dominion in this game, I'd change it to Odoan Omarion.
And for the Borg, the "swedish", I'd take the Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.
Cylon Unimatrixion.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Inwented a code in colors too, there are 4 colors for each empire, except Terran Federation, because theyre "us", plus black and white for all.
Now, these colors are arranged in a following sequence:
Romulans have basically green as the first and the second color is blue, colors jump over teal.
Kronons have basically red and brown, jump over orange.
Kardans have yellow and green, jump over limegreen.
Ferans have orange and purple, jump over red.
Terrans have teal and grey.
Then there are the opposite colors too for the backgrounds, but terran opposite is the same, grey.
So, there's basically one color in between that is passed by in order to make them distinct enough, but not more because of the "garishness" it might bring to them.

Re: Pioneer Universum Mod
Usually i'm not that appealed by the color compositions and design choices discarding the 'shades of gray' initial concept (don't get my wrong, it's great work, just not my personal taste), but these revisions of empire icons look quite interesting.
The new Cardassian has something, albeit still a bit misleading 'birdish'.
Thanks for you interest in the Klingon(TM) doorbell. It comes in different versions:
Compact and handy with subtle reverberations of bat'leth slaughtering:
The wave of this best seller sterilises any sinus infections to breathe freely (occasional complaints of surviving neighbours):
And last but not least the definitive choice for deaf persons and very sizeable premises:
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.
