Assymetrical?  I'm on board.

This is a great job Travis....the design is original and functional.  You've
managed to smooth and curve out what could be in danger of being a boxy
shape into a fine light hauler.

The sideways orientation of the canopy works wonders (got it in that config
myself on a current project...beat me to the punch!), and the cargo boom is
well rounded out by those stepped SNOT plates.

I could easily see this modified into a pirate frieghter as well.

Great stuff.

Cheers,
-Gil
