All of these are very nice MOCs. The "Heavy Fighter" is very cool. The only fault I can find with it is that there are so many greeblies that the the fighter would be very vulnerable, with so much machinery exposed. But overall, very good job. Curt (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I had the same thought. While the heavy fighter looks nice, I think it's a little TOO engreebled. There ought to be a few patches where it's smoothish because, as Curt said, if this were a real ship, all those little bits would be very (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
