Many good ideas were thrown around when we last discussed this. After
thinking about it for a long while I've decided that SHIP is a cool term.
James Brown, who proposed the term, said it stood for Seriously Huge
Interstellar Plastic.
I added that it might be a Seriously Huge Investment in Parts.
I think both of these are cool and maybe even others could be funny.
(Some How I Phinished ;-)
It was also proposed that we develop a Roman numeral system to measure ship
size.

Why not combine the two? For example from now on anything that is larger
than 100 studs (aside from it's function) would be a C1 SHIP. 200 up would
be a C2 SHIP etc..
Anything less than 100 studs would just be a ship.
Makes sense to me. :-)
What ya think?

| Funny...concise...de...itive....I like it! I think it's a good mix of all the suggestions and relatively self-explanatory enough for common usuage. My vote is 'yay'. Now I just have to build one :) Cheers, -G (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
