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.

The Toho-class Battleship Insurmountable has a very 'Star Destroyer' look,

That was 100% completely subconcious.  I was *done* building the thing when I

Engine flaps on the Ogre-class Dreadnaught Warlock.  I'm also planning on using
flaps on future designs.  A nod to Ken.

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.

Sideways steep slope pieces on the Warlock as well.  Very cool looking!  I use
those in a ship that I'll post tomorrow [...]

Mmmmm, can't wait!  :-,
