Featured image
We need a featured image for our Company Infobox. We'll need to track down a suitable image.
As an example, Apocalypse Arms Comm-Link's featured image has the url of:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/post_section_header/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg
That can be uploaded with a name suitable to the company.
Note:
The following may be useful for manipulating images on the the RSI Website:
Comm-Link featured images are often cropped for effect, and may not be the most suitable for showing the full logo. What we may need to do is take the "post_section_header" and change it to "post" (for smaller, approx 500 pixel wide) or "source" (highest resolution) and pull the result from the RSI website:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/post/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/source/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg
That can be uploaded with a name as noted above: "'Comm-Link-' + short indicator of comm-link name + file type"
