thanks guys

I usually copy the ships' skins and paste them onto a pale grey square of the same dimensions (usually 512X512). Then I adjust the contrast settings so that the skin looks approximately like the original.

You mean the black or white strips right? they are the shape of the ship as it appears on the game maps. All the info in the ship tgas are in the alpha channel.

To edit the ship tgas you'll have to load the alpha channel, and save the information back to the alpha channel once you're done.

- for everyone else, the clothes skins are in the various data\crew\[subdirectories]
