Graphical Themes
The game has many whimsical cosmetic elements. Planet ownership is identified by a variety of hats with a Wild West theme. If played on December 25, the player's highest-quality planets are depicted as wearing "Santa" hats; on American Thanksgiving, planets wear Pilgrim-style hats.
Ship graphics, which vary with weapon, shield, range and speed technology, can resemble dogs, wolves, sharks or ships with gigantic human noses for nosecones.

Famous quotes containing the word themes:
“In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
