I can see Jon's point, but by the same token I can see refinements to
the structure that are obviously lessons learned from _Gibraltar_ et al.
The problem is that Dan hasn't yet detailed the interior, so we can't
get a really good look at what he's done; in my opinion, the interior
was where his other creations really showed off the full measure of
his inventiveness.
As for pushing oneself, I get the impression that he's doing it by
degrees--as Dan himself said, it's meant to be part of the same fleet--
but if you look back at _Gibraltar_ you'll see the evolution. I'm
the same way; I improve by a few degrees on each creation. They may
look outwardly similar, but something new is always present. I'd
bet the same is true of _Dragonstar_.
Jon may be right that Dan can push himself harder (and those great
Adaloid starships really show all the cylinders firing), but the intent
and purpose behind this MOC didn't call for a sudden and radical break
with everything made before. And hey, just as you pointed out, that
doesn't take anything at all away from the feat. Best to reserve any
judgement until you've seen the inside. :D (No pressure, Dan!)
