| Hi, I struggled with much the same issue on my capital ship. I wanted to replicate the Millenium Falcon concept of two accessible turrets. But by the time I was done the proportions seemed way off to me. The turrets were one fifth the length of the (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)

| Hey Sylvi, big...BIG...RED...AAAAAaargh I went through your website, there are a lot of different FRESH designs there! Somehow, your ships are different...and that's good.

| Sylvi, you prolific space-kitten. The Tripod of death is very, very cool. The first thing that came to mind was that body-pod-harvesting atrocity in the Matrix. If you could make the tripod in black, and give it a big pod sack... don't mind me, I'm (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| Hey I like it. If you want my personal opinion, big boxes rule! :) In fact, I have a 30 pound monstrosity that I have yet to photograph, due to the complexity of getting it in and out of my room. Here are my tips on cheaply reducing the boxiness of (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)

| That ship is pretty cool. Overall, the color scheme is good, though perhaps a bit too busy, and somewhat uncoordinated. It's nice to see a ship without complete lateral symmetry (it makes its more realistic), however, I myself am too anal to forego (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)
