Why is it that the low life scum of the galaxy get to have nice, shiny, multicoloured & shaded Faction/Race icons & the rest of us get plain, solid, single coloured icons? Surely our Empires can afford to pay for better letterhead than a horde of space pirates? How hard would it be to make the current race icons as spiffy as the pirates? Perhaps even make it that the player could choose the two colours much like how they now choose the one? Or even picking one colour with the other being preset would do. And while I'm asking stupid questions....Did the Sin the Solar Empire Committed have anything to do with unspeakable acts & Space Ponies? I really would like to know the answer to the original question...
