Description
A thought for the future:
When I see "Captain Gus was destroyed", "Captain Suzie was destroyed", etc., I almost feel a little sad. It makes me think some personalities deserve their own artwork (perhaps to be displayed in communications upon acceptance of a mission) so you feel more of a connection and obligation to complete the mission. I imagined a sort of friendly semi-cartoonish drawing, but I don't know if that would fit in with the current style. (Also, I can't draw worth anything.)

Here's a collection of well drawn portraits:

Some of the elves and orcs aren't acceptable for our 'no aliens' policy.

I agree but an important thing to note is that artwork is hard to come by and this ups the barrier of entry for the random non-programmers we hope to encourage to make some missions (the player-friendly) editor.
If anything, I'd say missions should support images only optionally.
