Wow, Paul--that ship is so very, very cool. Why is it cool?
Well, because it's so perfectly and authentically ugly. It's
one of the very best utilitarian craft I've seen in a long time
around these parts! The small cabin, lack of privacy, and
the palpable sense of hating the second guy you're prospecting
with all just ooze from the pictures. The greeblies help make
the feeling that much stronger.
I like the "soft landing" feet, too--it looks like it's ready
for anything, and doesn't have any of that smoothing-out nonsense
that just takes up space and weight and mining-company $$$.
Again, gorgeous work!
