@Not creepy -- Very much agree. I know when developing a complex game with a small team, stuff like this gets de-prioritized and lost, but I'm glad modders are able to put a little bit back into the game.

The races in Distant Worlds are a known and loved thing to fans of DWU and DW2...why not show them off more, right? :D

Great mod! It is not just about the art for me but the design decision to show several individuals of every race works really great.
I think the presentation is the weakest part of DW2 and it could get to another level just with better design, art and music. Devs seem to underestimate this "subconscious" part of gaming.

@pupattolino75 -- Glad you like it! I do wish I could replace some places where the race images are used and leave the others. But all-or-nothing is what we have at the moment :D

Luckily the mod is very save friendly. If you yank it, your save will just put in the vanilla images again.

Very cool indeed. I'll use it on my yt series from now on.

@Limited strategy time -- I will take a swing at those too.

At a certain point I do try and mimic the DW2 art style/intent of the races (with the exception of the Wekkarus)...so at this point they are just using the DW1 race pics for minor races.

But it'll be another year or so before all the races are released, so it's probably good to just have stuff in place that can be adapted to later :D

Are you going to do the minor races too?
