Definitely a good start for said fleet--if the ships look like this,
Blacktron won't have a prayer. XD Any chance of a picture showing this
next to a 6986? (Not that it would be anywhere near the same size, but a
comparison to the biggest official SP ship just seems appropriate.)
I love the rockets on the back. (Although it seems like it'd be more in
keeping with the SP style to have about 20 Space Lock-Ups back there
instead. :P) In fact, I like a lot of the design here. Everything seems
in character, even the white bits and the Gali-foot-guns. I like the
alternate modules for the GPK, especially since they're probably also
compatible with the transport mini-vehicles (in the bigger SP sets). The
first one looks like it's designed for combat, and I'm guessing the second
is sensor equipment (am I right?). Both help get rid of the Peace Keeper's
relatively docile appearance (perhaps it's based on a civilian design?).
Too bad they're not tall enough to be useful on the Striker, but then they'd
look odd on the GPK and that's their primary purpose...
(I don't even want to THINK about how many pieces this took...)
