The SRAJ (often pronunced "Sir-rodge") Shuttle is a short range shuttle with accelerated jump technology. Seating for six in the cockpit and two in the cargo bay, this shuttle is often used for short trips within a single solar system, largely limited by it's lack of room for substantial provisions.

Of course, this doesn't stop many young Entrepreneurs from modifying these for longer journeys. The price and potential make it a perfect starter shuttle for interstellar trade.

They all look great. I like the color change you did. I love Davos set but I wish it had a better texture, something that looked like a modern aircraft or, even better, Trek related :)

I've taken the base green texture for every davo part I have, put it in PhotoShop, separated the details into a separate layer and grayscaled the green for a base texture. Then it's a matter of using the Variations menu to create a color scheme, and saving that variation set.

Then it's an assembly line to create a different color texture for each piece; Blue, Red, Forest Green, etc. I've also used this process to create normal FVCS textures for SFCS parts, so I can throw a door on the outside of a ship. Same for Frontier Station and it's subsets the Elevator and External bay.

Wow, that sounds like a heap of work. Guess I need to get started

Using the magic wand, click on a green area then use Select: Similar. Then Select: Inverse. Now copy and paste into a separate document. On the original be sure to deselect before going to Image: Mode - grayscale, then Image: Mode - RGB. Now go back to that other document and copy paste to the original. This will create a separate layer on top. You'll probably have to magnify close and move that top layer around to get it lined up right.

Save that document as it was, but change green to gray and use .tif or .psd as the format. This will preserve the layers so you can create variations of the bottom layer and the 'save as' .jpgs of your new variations.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot of work, but once you've got those base documents down, you've done the hard part.

Thanks, buddy! I'm pretty familiar with PS, but this keeps me from experimenting trying to find what works best.

And thanks for always being so helpful
