What does real life mean for you?
|
As I said in .castle, this is a deep question, and I don’t think I have the
time or space to answer it fully here. Unless you are asking this in the
sense of “what do you do in real life?” in which case my answer is that I work
as an Inventory Analyst for a candle manufacturer, have a wonderful
girlfriend, and enjoy gaming, clubbing, hiking, drumming, and driving my MR2.
|
Yeah, I guess thats what I meant.
| |
As with castle, there are too many great space builders, each with their own
style and scope, to really say one is better than another. To point at just
one, the first that comes to mind as an old favorite is actually one of the
smaller designs, JHK’s Nightshadow:

Thank ye. I’ve always liked it, it was a far better MOC then I usually built
back then. I still have it, and I think I’ll rebuild it.

And oddly, some Civilization II scenerios have some interesting stuff.
Although I doubt any of you, except perhaps Lenny, know what I’m talking
about.
|
Dude! You can add me to the list with Lenny. Civ2 is positively my favorite
PC game ever...
|
I’m not alone... yay. So odd, considering that Civ2 is pretty old by now...

What would you like TLG to do with the Space line, after it goes over its
Star Wars hangover?
|
As with castle, it would be neat to see sets that allow the builder/child to
develop their own storylines, as happened in Classic Space and Futuron. A
subtheme with no clear bad-guy, a choice of a few simple/generic uniforms, and
a mix of exploration, civilian, and military vehicles/bases would be good. I
think that a Futuron-like series would fit this nicely.
Other things I think would sell:
-Crater Plates!
-A modular-Space-City series (ala Moonbase)
-Advanced Collectors Series with capitol ships that are not SW.
|
Good ideas, I really think that a moonbase-like project would be good and easy
to do. It would be an interesting thing for Lego to work on...
