Thanks Mladen. I remember you once saying that a MOC tends to look best when it uses only 3 colors: Base, Secondary, and Highlight. I agree with you about that, so I try to apply that process when possible. :)

   However, I’m just a little surprised to see a future military (you do envision this as a military craft, right?) still using manned surveillance aircraft!

What about the much more economical (in terms of fuel, and actual construction material) and politically safe (U2 shot over Russia, remember that?) satellites and unmanned, autonomous drones?

Heh. Well, it’s a craft that launches drones, you see. So it gets close to the location and the drone does the rest. :)

   Still, a piloted Advanced Superfighter is way cooler than some lame drone, in my book.

Thanks. I was going for a sort of SR-71 meets PCS kind of thing.
