Here is a snapshot of what was available at one time:
I think you can still access the website on archive.org

I have a collection of some of the skins if they aren't here at Subsim.

The Narwhal skin was made for Ducimus' Trigger Maru Narwhal.

Happy Hunting!

Thank you aanker.. I will try that site and see if I can grab and re-host...

Ok. i have downloaded all of them.

Some of these i already have, i'll sort them out and add to the collection.

Now do i use the Battle Flags.US as owners or FooBors ? what do you guys think ?

Man, that'd be tough... There was a Kill Flags team, and I remember reading through their thread quite a while back, and they did make a lot of skins, but I don't remember who was doing what. I'll try to read through that again later today for you s7rikeback... :salute: What did I just volunteer for?...

Yes, the Kill Flags team would customize a players tower to reflect types of ships sunk; with meatballs & rising sun flags. They may have included aviators rescued and Special missions conducted like recons etc. too. At one time they had quite an operation going.

I suppose you could do the same if you wanted that kind of display on your tower using a graphics program to add the 'kill flags'. TGA is easier to work with than DDS unless things have changed.... they usually do - lol. Paint.net is a good program and is listed in one of the stickey's (it has a different url) and can work with DDS files.

These kill flags and mascots (like the WAHOO headdress) added to the tower are not historically accurate but this is a game and if you want them displayed, go for it. The main objective is to have fun, right?

Happy Hunting!
