Prelude: How to Upload Your Fleet
Make sure you know this before proceeding.

You can find the instructions in this guide: Upload Your Fleet to the Steam Workshop.
Find Your Fleet Files
By default, they should be located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Nebulous\Saves

If you have changed where your Steam Library is located (see: Moving a Steam Installation and Games), then they should be at:

[your steam library location]\steamapps\common\Nebulous\Saves

Inside it will look something like this:
Change the Default Thumbnail
For each fleet you have saved in the game, there will be a corresponding JPG image with the same name, generated by the game. For example TF 1.fleetTF 1.jpg, TF 2.fleetTF 2.jpg, and so on...


Replace this image of the desired fleet with your custom thumbnail. It has to be a square JPG image with the same name. You can use any resolution, but 1024 x 1024 pixels is recommended, as it is the same size as that of the default thumbnail.

Uploading
After the above is done, go into the game and upload that fleet (see: Prelude: How to Upload Your Fleet).

It should now show up on the Steam Workshop page for your fleet.

Word of Note
Every time you update the fleet, the game will override your custom thumbnail and replace it with the default one.

Before updating this fleet on the Steam Workshop (see: Prelude: How to Upload Your Fleet), you will need to repeat the above steps.
