Thanks for wonderful praise, Lenny!

Hmmm, I think I do have a shot like that, dude. Maybe you missed it? Here ya go:

Well, that section is the crew quarters and those are sorta like
multipurpose bunks. That section area doubles as a galley and sickbay. On
either side of the red-headed space chick are mock doors that lead
to storage and to the bathroom (I'll see about getting a pic of those
doors). I did not try to flesh out the storage or bathrooms on this ship.
Anyway, the crew can hang out in that area, eat, take a nap, or sleep
through a long voyage. Since this is a fully automated ship, there are only
9 crew: Captain, Pilot, Navigator, Communications Tech, 2 Weapons Techs, 1
Chief Engineer and 2 Engineering Techs.

Yeah. Dang, I really need my own website! Well, I'll see what I can do.

It would be capable of long range warp travel to star systems in our local
group. But it's part of a fleet, not a "stand alone" vessel the way the
Argo was in Starblazers. It cannot land and it has no shuttlecraft (I
didn't bother building escape pods this time either but I could easily add a
couple). So it needs support ships for the long haul but I'd say it could
operate for a month on it's own.
