| | | | | I don't know how much it's been done, but I really dig the smooth floors. Way nice touch! Looking a lot like the Yamato, turrets are extra shooty. The white makes the interior more sterile like I think. Not sure I totally dig the all white, but untl (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

You have labeled the Dragonstar as a Destroyer -- assuming you're using the term the same way the US Navy does, then it makes perfect sense that the Dragonstar isn't out on its own.
