So the streams of allies and enemies are endless.
It would be cool if we could see a picture (Like a screenshot from gameplay but with roofs showing) of each colony type in each biome.

Theu don't have to be unique, just set images, if the tribals come from the desert, theres a desert town screenshot, from the forest, fires in the woods etc etc.

These could be well realised with outlander towns having fairly modern looking towns (Each has to high of course, spanning off the screen to show scale) and pirates could be shown with multiple starships to show that they have orbital drop capability.

I always personally like to image where they come from, and if there was something to look at on the faction window it would be really cool, even if its the same each time.

Where would you see these images during the game?

I agree the game could use a bit of graphics in certain places to compliment the flavor text.

Why, the Faction tab. And the Comms Console.

It's a good idea, and would help flesh out factions and give them flavor.

Neat idea, would spice things up a little.

I was kind of hoping it would be a bad MS paint doodle but the concept looks good.

Season art style to taste, that was just the first image that came up in a search for "jungle pirates"  :)

With that image, I'd expect the dialog choices to include "NOT OK! VERY, NOT, OK!"
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself
