Hehehe, Actually, I haven't seen the second trailer yet. I had a e-conversation
with someone a while back about what makes a SW ship a SW ship... And two ideas
that came from that are 1: scale... spaceships would be BIG... even small ships.
These are the largest 1 and 2-man ships i've ever built, and in both of them,
less than half of the volume is "livable" space (the Chevron's livable space is
probably less than 10%!). And 2: all sorts of fiddly details all over the place,
pipes and vents and things all over the ship. I think I managed to capture both
of these elements pretty well, though I was not consciously trying to make
"StarWars" ships.

Me too :) Though, since I've cut out TV completely, I do have a lot more time.

Hmm, an interesting challenge. I'll have to think about this one :)
I've got at least 2 more ships coming out (as the catalog indicates).. The
Freedom-9000 is a Civy version of the Orion Class Runabout- less armor, no
turret, larger viewports, etc... The other ship is in the 850 Series. The
difference between 9000 and 850 is that 850 series ships are not equipped with
NLS motivators, and thus are designed for different roles.
