The latest ship from the Blacktron Hegemony is the Outcast Racer: (URL) It's unarmed, but it hauls. And I'm not talking cargo. (4 URLs) I started off my racers with the (URL). I really, really like that ship. That's why I did the whole racers (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !

Unassailable coolness! The trans-red pieces (especially the ones that are not Blacktron I era like the door on the storage box) and the chrome accents really snazz it up! Dave (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Glad to hear it! And I hope that I'll have more Blacktron on the way. If I can manage to get some more building time in the next few days, I would like to enter at least one of the contests going on at the moment. (...) I'll take that as a (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks! Mmmm... the taste of snazz... The chrome came about when I was working on the engines. I needed a way to flip the studs around to get that front cone on, and when I put on the sabre handles, it was clear that I had something. -- Tony (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Aah, sweet. I just put together a small Blacktron MOC with chrome highlights (nothing special, it will probably show up along side another MOC I'm working on), and was thinking Blacktron totally deserves chrome. Your racer really shows how. I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Tony, I don't know why, I missed your post, I only saw your racer now. It's very sleek! Oh, and I could find the storage compartments very easily! Nice engines, I like this orientation. And the hoses bring a lot to it! The chrome bits add a nice (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I have to disagree about that last chrome comment, though- it's pretty easy to overdo chrome, and that totally kills it. Anyway, I love it when the chrome (...)

Hey Tony, That's one sleek racer you have there. One really can't argue with chrome pipes (well one could try, but they'd be louder...) I would agree with Gil's point about more weight in the sabrehilt area, but it might be less of an issue if you (...) (20 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
