Havn't ever tried a big ship, though. Can anyone clue me in on about how
much bricks you would need for a ship anywere from 60 to 100 studs long?
Why don't we have some sort of contest? There hasn't been a space contest
since I joined (I remember begging my parents to let me join Lugnet and
enter the Blacktron, but my dad, who hates me using computors, said no)and I
look forward to one!
BTW- How about more categories fore smaller ships, such as best small ship,
or best fighter, or best civilian craft?
