Uh yeah, those, um, well, I was thinking of adding those when I was finished,
but I just couldn't get them to look the way I wanted, so I left it the way it

| Hi Wilson, I like the design of your ship, but I have one suggestion. IMO, your ship needs a trans-fluoro-green crystal piece right in the middle of your crystal room. It's like one you'd get in an Aquazone set (although those are chromed). I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
