No, it's not a turbocycle. This is an idea I've had for at least a year. The docking system and cannon were built at the same time as the Odin. Everything else just came together over the last two weeks. Those familiar with the UC timeline for (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)

Ouch. I don't wanna be its enemy. Gotta hurt. All I can honestly say is, WOW! I've never seen anything like it. Wow, that's nice. Phew. Hard to type with a broken keyboard. Well, great job. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: Sleipnir
 
Thanks for the compliment. The cockpit is actually part of a small ship that connects to the Sleipnir. Looks like I succeed in making the two look like one construct. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Sleipnir
 
The Dendrobium influenced the overall look, but I tried not to copy it too much (except for the bays). Non airplane like designs tend to be the most interesting ones. Of course, there are some great airplane looking designs around. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)

I think this has to be one of most enthusiastic responses I've ever received. Thanks. I hope the keyboard was broken before you see my design, because I'll won't be held responsible :) (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Sleipnir
 
Excellent work as always Travis! I like the Gundam Dendrobium influence, as well as the successful integration of the Odin with the weapons platform. The missile containers are great too, mmm... nuclear! Oh, and that particle-beam cannon is sweet (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Sleipnir
 
Thanks, Mladen. Actually, the cannon is in a fixed position. The barrel does open up for firing. If the cannon had been off-set, the cannon lowering would have been a cool feature. Alas, the Odin's fin would be in the way in it's current design. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Sleipnir
 
You have some really cool stuff there. I'll have to go back and look more closely later, but for now, I can say I really like the Starmage as well as your new one, the Sleipnir. Starmage reminds me a little of the Hunter, a fighter/bomber from the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks. As for Military Madness, I've never heard of it. Travis Dickinson (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
