Yah, the cone thing is supposed to be a coaxial aerospike engine -- as opposed
to a linear aerospike engine, which is what the VentureStar shuttle will use.
Unfortunately, I've never seen a coaxial aerospike design, so I'm not sure
what it'll look like.
I have a couple of smaller models with less sophisticated engine designs like
the Embark class, but the Embark class is the only one that made the final
cut.

That was 100% completely subconcious. I was *done* building the thing when I
looked at it from a certain angle and started hearing the "Imperial March".

Yup. I've playing with putting a large flap between engines, a la the
Earthforce Omega-class Destroyer from B5, but it never looked good. Ken's
design, OTOH, looks awesome.

Mmmmm, can't wait! :-,
