Does anyone have any tips for making custom element overlays?

I would like to make some custom element overlays.  Do anyone have any experience with making them?  I was think of buying some black card stock and using some bright sharpie marks to add the ship stats and arcs of sight and so on.  However, I think they will end up looking terrible compared to the official overlays.  So I was going to make a new set of my terrible looking overlays for all my ships.  This way my entire fleet will look equally terrible.

If it were me, I'd make them in PowerPoint and print them out on photo paper so that they would be sturdy enough to use on the plastic bases 😉 

I could take a crack at mocking one up for you if you like..

Hello Ruckdog
I like your idea, I will give it a try.  If you are willing to do a mockup that would be great, we can compare and contrast both of the overlays we develop.  Maybe in the future, we can develop a custom overlay template for the community.  I do not know much about the firestorm community, but I know that Halo fleet battles and Firestorm share similar game engines, I wonder if the firestorm community has any custom overloay templates, I will investigate and see what I can come up with. 
thanks, Patrick

FSA does not use the same formation base and overlay setup that Halo FB does, I'm afraid! The games are more like distant cousins than siblings.

I haven't' forgotten about this little idea! I'll try to have something posted soon. Sorry for the delay!
