Interesting. I always prefered the more pristine military look of Star
Destroyers, at least for ships that "could ram right through another ship."

Now that sounds neat. I am currently working on a colony to go with my all
black ship the Phantom Shrieker. I am using all my burps/castle walls for a
backround cliff with mining operations and refineries. It will be a few months
before I have enough for pictures though. That whole life thing gets in the
way so often. :-)

I am definately looking forward to seeing the Bardiel completed.
