I've been working on an AU idea for the past few weeks and thought it'd be neat to plan out some order of battle stuff for visualizing change in the services and whatnot. I thought I'd share the unit symbols I've been using in case anybody would be interested. Of course, any glaring, amateurish mistakes would be courtesy of yours truly :lol:

Those are pretty cool. Have you thought about adding a diffrent shape around the symbol to denote friendly, hostile or neutral. On warships our standard C&D symbology has diffrent shapes and colors to denote the 3.

Here is a good website with some examples.
