Walt There appears to be a bug that prevents ship images from being drag and dropped into the game.
"Error: This stream does not support seek operations."
Note: There is no issue loading the ship in if the image is saved to the "Saved Ships" folder and brought into the game that way.
It looks like the texture compression should help the big mods like Abh that often caused memory issues on lower memory computers. I currently see Abh + SW as using less than 2 GB when before it was over 4 GB (I need to make some superficial changes to get them to conform to the 64x64 multiple image size requirement). Starting the game also seems faster (other then the first time when the textures are compressed).
