Our newest addition to the fleet has been completed.

Please take a look at it's Unclassified Databank.

It's I.E. 5 only (sorry non i.e. browsers (1)).  This is my first try at
(homemade) dynamic html and javascript. (Watch the back button)

Please take the tour.  There's at least 28 sections to go through (7 levels
x 4 sections) and many branches off each.  It's easy to get lost (i wish i
could've done better) but there's always a way out of each room. And have
faith that the elevator is there (even though it's not in the picture).

I think i tried to overcompensate with the web site, for the lack of of an
interesting shape.  I wanted to go for more of a sleeker look but i think
the small exterior details look "bolted" on.

I had built pages for the exterior pics, the gallery and construction pics
but ran out of room on my isp.  Basically the tour pics take up almost all
my isp's space so the rest of the pics are on brickshelf.  The pics on
brickshelf are rather small as they were intended to fit in a frame.


Anyway i hope you enjoy it,
Jeb


(1) I wanted to get it working on all browsers (my usual goal), but i'm
pooped and barely got this completed as is.  So i apologize.

(...) [snip] (...) Dude, wow, that was neat! What's with the secret stash in the Captain's Ready Room? I found the fish-eye stuff a little diorienting, both for navigation and for detail viewing. I think I got space-sick in the Arboreum, sorry 'bout (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Standing ovation.... I am speechless. Truly I am. Jeb, you have outdone yourself, again! :^O WOW! I personally would have prefered no fish eye lens, but I still saw a lot of detail. I really liked how you included the upper sub-light engines - (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

Wow! Two great big ships in one weekend! (...) I should ask you at some point about your experiences--I'm in the process of trying to write dynamic HTML and use java applets to get a decent webpage up and running. Now that I can use MLcad and (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) About the tour, I seem to be missing something. Not only that once I enter crew quarters 221 and 222, I cant seem to get out, I can only go to the fisrt and secong floor. Does anyone else have this problem? And how do you get to the 3rd, 4th, (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hey Jason, Excellent details! I think the VTOL shuttle is very nice as well. Love the cockpit. Nice work with all the little opening hatches and stowable hoses and stuff. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
  Re: Hyperion is complete
 
(...) That's really slick, Jason. The tour is a nice touch, though I found it a little confusing at first, till I got used to it. One of the shuttles uses one of the UCS Xwing cockpits doesn't it? That's kinda what it looks like at least. I like the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Amazing! I am totally in awe! I've been anticipating this baby's completion and it was worth the wait. What a big ship! And detailed, too! I've checked out the detail gallery and exterior shots so far. Didn't take the tour (my computer and (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Wow, this is a great ship. The design is unique and looks awesome. I'm amazed by the picture that shows all of the cargo & support vehicles out in front of the ship - there's a lot of stuff in there! Nice! - Paul (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) After hearing the rave reviews, I gotta ask if you can toss some pictures up on a browser-non-specific site. Sitting on the wrong end of an SGI Indy, I don't even have IE5 as an option... -JDF (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
