Ship Sets: Ships can be created using any typical "paint" program, saved as gif files and imported into the game. Several ship sets have been created to represent a variety of ship designs. Typically about 12 ships of various sizes are represented in each group along with fighters, drones and boarding party ships. "Custom" sets can be created and shared between players. Markers are also included to represent such things as asteroids, stargates, spacial anomalies to allow players to move between serious engagements and those edging on fantasy or anime.
