The PELiCAN is to become the backbone of colonization in this sector. The
PELiCAN can transport sensitive cargo with a soft touch.  But, she is fast
enough to outrun many attack craft.  She also can be equiped to be a troop
transport, science vessel, and temporary command base for new colonies.

This class is being released in beta mode and rushed into service.  This due
to the need to further our efforts into space colonization in response to
the Eastern Block.   An upgrade to landing gear and power systems will be
coming in the service version, as well as weapons.  (As per advice of Grand
Admiral Sandlin).

Her first mission transported an Eastern Block defector from Stalag 14 on
Pluto into friendly space.

Please Let Me Know What You Think of this new craft.

Admiral Giddens <><

P.S.  Yes this isn't fully complete, there is a lot of outer detail and
greeblie that I need to do.  Also the landing gear is at the best... sucky.

P.P.S  I'm takin about a month break from building to sort.  It's gotta
happen if I'm to get anything ready for Brickfest.  So you soldiers keep the
PCS fires burnin!!

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 removed panel' feel.
I love watching the evolution of PCS. It really is is very interesting!

Keep up the good work,

Zac

(...) Thanks. I appreciate the complients! And, ya it may be too greebled (except for aft), but since this is more of an "industrial" ship I stayed away from some of the PCS smooth on top/pipes on bottom routine and stuck em wherever they would fit. (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.space)
