This is for everyone who considers themselves to be an L-CAD'er.

Two of the parts submitted for the next parts update are particularly hard to
categorize.  These are the large cockpit base from the Rock Raiders, and the
windscreen base from Aquazone.  These two pieces have some similarities to a
number of (existing) parts, but the one part with which they have the most
affinity (IMO) is 6058, the "Space Cabin Nose Base".  However, Space is one of
those thematic categories which we are trying to eliminate, not populate.

So, I'm proposing that these three pieces be placed into a new category,
called Cockpit.

6058.DAT      Cockpit  4 x 11 x  2 & 1/3
6085.DAT      Cockpit  8 x  5 x  3
30299.DAT     Cockpit 10 x 14 x  2 & 2/3

I've put up a webpage with images of the parts, and some other random thoughts
on the subject.  It's at
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/200002/cockpit.html>.

Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms? Alternatives?

If I don't hear anything, I'll assume that everyone thinks this is the best
approach to take with these pieces.
