Yes, Avatars!

You can now select a graphic avatar to represnt you in the game. Just click on the Options button and you will see a new item called Avatar. Clcik on the SET button besice the default avatar and you will be presented with a screen full of avatars.

If you want to change avatar directories just select the one you want to view on the drop down and click the Change Directory button.

When you find the avatar you like click on the button below the image to select it and then click on the Select Avatar button. And you are finished!

Your avatar will start showing up on many places. Right now it only shows in the Shoutbox. But you will see a players avatar when you scan their ship, view your ship, messages, team lists, ect.

Oh, we haven't forgotten people on teams either. We will be adding Team Icons. These are special icons that will represent your team and only your team. The team icons will show up in messages and all team listings.

Just a little something extra so you can personalize your game even more.

Here is an update to the avatars...

Avataars are now EXCLUSIVE to the player that picks it. Once an avatar is picked only that person will ever be able to use it. The avatar is then removed from the list of avatars shown.

You can now upload your own avatars. You are not stuck with whatever the server has installed. The avatar must be a gif, jpg or png file. And it cannot be any larger than 64 x 64 pixels in size.

Also, do not upload any avatars with objectionable content. You could get banned from the game if you do.
