<snipped intro>
thanks... if I'd put more thought into it, i probably could've made some
retracts, but its designed to be an easy to produce ship. no need for
retracts, although the black bits are, as the BG said, supposed to be
computer-controlled shocks. it actually looks better without them, but it
can't carry a usefully sized module that way ( you wouldn't land a skycrane
on the cargo, would you?)now that i look at it, it also looks vaguely like
the cargo ships from "Space: Above and Beyond"... or so it seems to me...
