I was not sure if this was possible but now that I see it is then I would love it.
This is certainly possible, but from what I understand it's not that easy. It would take some time and involves hex editing etc.
Nevertheless this is something that should eventually be done IMO.
You dont need to do anything other than have both the lit and dark ships in the countries roster file - the only thing you need to do is ensure the ship for that particular nation in a convoy is darkened ( original ) and the singles are the lit ( new ships )
Yeah, that solves the lighting problem, but not the neutrality (reknown hit). There's been an idea floating around to clone nations, having the flags of neutral nations but being counted as enemy... to be used only for convoy neutrals.
