	** Mm yes, I did try that myself, however I'd really prefer to stick to using templates if possible. Some templates do stack horizontally without this issue, such as the elemental icons on mission pages. These manufacturer icons don't though, which seems odd. In either case, they may not be needed in the chart, and may be removed anyway. Thanks for the input though! =D - [[User:Spirit\|Spirit]] 23:18, 23 January 2008 (CST)		** Mm yes, I did try that myself, however I'd really prefer to stick to using templates if possible.

	* Also, for those of you that are wondering, I haven't forgotten about this page/chart. I've just been abusing our max luck to hunt for kitties. No doubt once the luck is over, I'll get back to work on this. In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions on things they feel should be added? If not, I'll go ahead and create a more complete chart with the full spread of techs. - [[User:Spirit\|Spirit]] 23:18, 23 January 2008 (CST)		* Also, for those of you that are wondering, I haven't forgotten about this page/chart.

		+	* Draft 4 looks awesome. I would just add a link to the [[GUARDIANS Branch]] page into the Neudaiz icon. I also tested this out on 1024x768 resolution and it fits without a scrollbar on the bottom! I think the 4th draft will work. :D<br/>--[[User:Kietrinia\|Kit]] 09:26, 13 February 2008 (CST)

	*** The Vol Coins look great! The PA Frag icon though, I'm not sure how it appears on your screen, but the contrast between the page background and the icon background make the PA text difficult to read. It's the same issue I noticed with the PAF icon made from a screenshot. Perhaps one solution could be changing the 'PA' or the icon background to a lighter shade? - [[User:Spirit\|Spirit]] 04:43, 4 January 2008 (CST)		*** The Vol Coins look great!

	* I managed to fix that stacking icon problem you were having with the store logos. For some reason, anytime you use a template, it stacks up. But if you put the image code in manually (copying and pasting from the icon template pages), it works just fine. I put my fix in Ramegid and left the templates in Dammegid.

	* I can very easily add the PA text next to the icon for PA frags so we won't have that grey background. I also intended on making an icon for vol coins. I'll try making one for each type (gold, silver, bronze). I'm not sure whether to make them with the letters VC following. Of course, this is all dependent on what everyone wants to use as standard and should probably be voted on at some point. - [[User:Propagandist\|Propagandist]] 00:04, 4 January 2008 (CST)		* I can very easily add the PA text next to the icon for PA frags so we won't have that grey background.

	* This is slightly off-topic, but I'd suggest the same for VC's where applicable - though that might only be an issue for items that cost some Gold and 0 Silver/Bronze coins. Meseta is easily recognisable by anyone who has played a few missions though, so the meseta icon should be okay as it is.

	** I do like this test PA icon, though I must admit I'd prefer it to include the letters 'PA' for those who don't know what the fragment looks like in one's inventory. While we're taking liberties, I've added said 'PA' to your icon, and uploaded it over the icon I was using for the chart. When you've had the chance to refine the icon you've made, we can replace it.
