Style Guide
Images
Any pictures that you upload should be well lit and the viewer should able to easily and clearly see what the subject is. Dark pictures with the sun backlighting the ships, although artistic, are unacceptable for this wiki. Please use well lit, isometric viewpoints for ships; well lit, well framed pictures for planets and bases. The pictures and images should be uploaded in the .jpg format (or .png format if transparency is needed) and be of minimal filesize and reasonable pixel size (minimum of 800 x 600 is a good size to aim for).
If you are uploading an image of a 3D model (such as a ship or a turret), use the name of the 3D model instead of the item. This provides separation between the item and the underlying model, thereby allowing multiple items to reference a single model, and allowing an item to change models without breaking the other linked references.
Example Image Specs:
- Gas_miner (800 × 600 pixel, file size: 35 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)
- New London (535 × 528 pixel, file size: 61 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)
- Image:Argus_Battlecruiser.png (800 × 349 pixel, file size: 321 KB, MIME type: image/png)
Note: Please use the lowercase ".jpg" extension, and not the UPPERCASE one.
Note2: There are some differences between filetypes of images used:
- A jpg file does not have transparency. They are small in size and are suitable to be uploaded to this wiki directly. They are the thumbnails and medium pictures that you see when you go to a system/planet/etc... page.
- A png file can have transparency and the filesize is usually a somewhat larger. These can now be uploaded to the Wiki directly. A good suggestion is to get good renders of the ships and upload the png files. Major Thanks and Kudos to Igiss for activating this!
