| | | Tired of plodding around the system in overpowered, clanging ion driven ships? Deutronium slush drives not giving you the thrill they used to? Screaming at your automaton co-pilot over the din of SRB's? At Toradoch Systems, we have the solution for (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) WOW! I wish I had the talent and the bricks and the camera to make this! I like the 'ring' alot, as well as the half-cilendar cocpit. Wouldn't the pilot want to see, though? In theory, the ship wouldn't go intersteller, though- probablly not (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Many thanks John! My 'retro-theorizing' on the cockpit is that a holographic display the starfield would be projected up on the interior dome of the rudderpod. As the clipper builds up speed by running courses towards the sun, the solid shielding is (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Apologies for responding to my own post, but I just wanted to give a tip of the hat to Jon Palmer and his O-wing Fighter design for the inspiration of this model. Yet another benevolent felony on my part...... Cheers, -G (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) Gil, your design is very similar to what I was picturing when I was talking to Jon about what his O-Wing would look like. There's even a 16 panel click hinge cylinder sitting on my desk somewhere waiting to be developed further. So needless to (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | Hey Gil. I've been here and there for a bit but I figure its not too late to reply on this. Interesting ship. While I don't like this as much as some of your other recent creations, it's still a very cool ship. The over all shape is very unique. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | Hey Jon, Many thanks for the kudos! I would have to agree that it is not my favorite ship aesthetically, but for some reason it's really grown on me. There is something about it's simplicity that is nostaligic for me....recalls the days of watching (...) (23 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)
