hey,

nice pod, the colors are great.

I don't want to start a controversy, but Let me be the first to say that I

Features include dual-ion engines, quite a few cannons and lasers and
whatnots, working landing grear and an opening hatch.

Very inspired by Sproaticus' pod "ship".

(...) Thanks Travis. (...) Good point. Right now I've done 4 pods, and only 1 has wings, so that's just 25%. This reminds me of something...spaceships and wings....hmmm... -Chris (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
