I cant describe how much I dislike the loading screen just using the blown up icon for sins... so I made a replacement for it. And am deciding to share it.

TO USE:
Please backup your original file before overwriting it. No longer necessary, thanks GoaFan.
1. Download the zip archive from HERE
2 . extract it's folder to your Rebellion Mods directory.
Usually in "Documents \ My Games \ Ironclad Games \ Mods - Rebellion v0.90"
3. You will have a folder there called "SplashScreen Replacement"
4. Load up sins, Go to options, Select Mods and enable it from there!
Enjoy!
(Note: I take no credit for the original artwork by Ironclad, I did modify it slightly.)
