    Soo, I've done some forum searching but I'm coming up blank. How do we load skins with the new launcher? All the information I find online talks about a drop down in the old launcher that does not exist anymore.

    It's in the menu. When in the options tab you should see the options Create Player Skin and Path to Skin (or something like that).
    But it seems to be bugged right now - at least my game crashes when i try to change it.
    If that happens to you too, find the file in your StarMade folder named .skin. If it doesn't exist, create it. Put the path to your Skins .smskin in it.
    Example: C:\Users\Karride\AppData\Roaming\StarMade\Skins\Karride.smskin

    If you don't have a .smskin file because you just created the skin yourself, create filename.zip file with the following contents. Rename the file to filename.smskin and do the above.
    • skin_helmet_diff.png (helmet texture of your skin)
    • skin_helmet_em.png (helmet emission*)
    • skin_main_diff.png (body texture of your skin)
    • skin_main_em.png (body emission*)
    * glowing parts of your skin. White = Glowing, Black = doesn't glow
