Why were texpages 14 & 17 enlarged?

[Mysteryem]

Could someone tell me why texpages 14 (droid hubs) and 17 (droid weapons) were doubled in size? From my point of view they've lost data and don't look as good, they're also a pain to change for using in mods.
I thought it could be so that you could get more detail onto them, but nothing seems to have changed.

i've no idea, was already there when i joined

I cannot recall any such change, and the commit log says nothing about it. So I also have no idea.

Hmm, i only realised this because the bitmaps of these pages used by pie slicer are 256 pixels by 256 pixels, it also seems that bicubic was used when enlarging them.

I think because the texture 14 and 17 looks better in 512x512 pixels than 256x256, providing a better quality of the texture of the PIE components which use these textures.
