Tavis,
Thanks for the kind words and the ideas. Right now I'm seriously thinking
about a Mk3 version, incorporating ideas that people have given me, especially
these. I had some interesting ideas for the research area, but was quite sure
how to implement them all (including a downward sloping window).
Thanks for directing my attention towards the research room. I'm starting to
get some good idea about how to divide it up to give it more definition..
something like desk and cubicles, rather than two 'lines' of cpus lining the
walls, which is visually boring.

A concept totally stolen from the UCS ISD. That thing, if nothing else, is a
crash course in how to build a really cool SHIP.
