You can mod beams (edit 2 tab). And get the fighterbay release, it has some nice stuff.

I actually put the fighterbay release executable files in the BSF repack root folder.
EDIT : Still, some people can make beam that has shading, while I only make plain beams. There's gotta be a beam sprite that i need!

Custom beam sprites glitch out when surfaces are on, so don't bother. Just use the rescale options in ED2.
If you want the fancier beams, use the fusionbeam or pulsebeam. Also IIRC Shockbeams resize themselves based on the damage value given, so that's another possibility.

I doubt anyone has ever taken effort to make custom asteroids...

I don't know if your spriting is a s good as your shipbuilding, but if that's true, you could do them yourself.

You can always use the ones that come with the shipmaker and set their colours to a shade of grey.

The asteroid sprites that come with the game are actually quite good to use. You also could always make your own with a quick google image search and some mild photo editing magic.

I once found the asteroid sprites from Kaelis. It was actually in a thread for the old custom edition BSF. Sadly I won't work even after I converted it into .png .
I can't photoshop things.

*thinks* I bet there's something on the Internet that can be used for editing, there just has to be...

EDIT: Bingo, GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) probably has something you can use.

I have GIMP, but i don't think i can do much with it.

But thanks for telling me.

GIMP is certainly worth while, I do all my graphics work using it.

Care to share those asteroids? Maybe someone else can convert them with whatever program they use.

I tried to convert them with gimp, paint by saving as a .png file. It came out like a broken image.
The same goes when using online converters.
I have edited them so it has transparent background. It didn't really help since it is so small.
