It's not right when using 1x1 building grid, and doesn't seem to be right dead center, soooo what is it?

But I wouldn't say those rocks are centred there. Surely you'd want to centre at the "footprint" of the rock, rather than literally in the middle of the sprite. That's why they look too low ingame IMO.

So really just try to center what would be the notional bottom surface and tweak until happy...

Centre them within the 1x1 cell then move it up 15 pixels.

FA2 uses the building gird by default but overlays & terrain objects use the exact center of the ship file instead.
