I'm with Scott (and others) on this one. After discovering the CFV just a few
months ago (it appeared at the start of my Dark Ages), I totally lucked into
trading for one -- for which I'm still incredibly grateful -- and it's a
fantastic set. I actually like the colour scheme (it photographs well,
dontchaknow), and it's extremely well thought out all around. I wonder what
happened internally to make those kind of designs go bye-bye? I keep wondering
if they had one or two chief set architects who sat around and thought about
authentic-looking and -feeling things...and where they went after BT-I (or what
horrible accident impaired them--too much ABS in the bloodstream? If yes, we're
all doomed. Doomed, I tell you).
My three favourite ships are still Galaxy Explorer, Blacktron I Invader, and the
new entry and new leader (for me), CFV--all for the same reason, really. (I
never owned a BT-I Renegade, so I plead ignorance of its charms.)
