(...) Hey Chris, Absoultely beautiful! The way that you have vertically elongated the PCS design looks superb. I love the cargo doors and ramp, but my only gripe is that she is maybe a bit too greebled - or the greebles don't have that 'under the (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Very cool. I love the blunt look with the opening clamshell thing at the front. Reminds me of the cargo airplanes we use today. I like the interior of this ship. The retracting bed is a nice touch. And I dig the hatch- I'm a sucker for hatches. And (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Great ship Chris! I loved the way this ship has a big belly for a cargo and that it opens so well in front. It reminded me of this refugee ship in SW II AOTC on a much smaller scale. A whole month without building? PCS is doomed... Love, Sylvi (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)
