Final Artwork Confirmed • LCARS 47 (codename) Version 6
Many variations of the LCARS 47 "Combadge" have emerged throughout the development—some of which, rather promising. It was eventually decided that the solid curve design, which was previously used as a graphic in an old hull decal would be the one to represent the project. Since the final release of LCARS codenamed version 6 (also version VI and 47.6) began, the task of designing the icons, logos, and motifs began. I never thought that a Starfleet-esque mission patch like the iconic ones Mike Okuda so wonderfully created would really be needed, until Michael Wilde (beta) suggested it. "It is a development project, after all," he said. Now, it's been decided that it will also front the whole design theme.

Customizable Personnel Database Complete
The customizable personnel database is now complete. Simply add the text and an image, save in the correct directory and it'll be there when you start LCARS 47. You may have noticed that the layout has changed. It seemed more fitting to redesign it.
All the common fields are editable including the name and rank and there's enough space in the biography section for about two paragraphs. You'll notice that your ship's name and registry are also displayed on screen; I thought it would give an added touch of personalization throughout the database.
The image placeholder (right) should also be replaced by an image of your choice. The dimensions must be 454 pixels by 500 pixels and it must be in a JPEG format without progressive scanning. So, suit up and smile.
There are 10 slots for database entries, but that can be increased at a later date.
