(...) Hi Nathan. I think this ship is a good start, but it sort of looks to me like it's not finished. The interior is nicely detailed, which is good, but the exterior needs work. I don't understand the hatch in the front with the bridge. It doesn't (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Great interiors Nathan, and I really like the slopes on the front. I think it needs some beefier engines, though, or at least some cool-looking exterior "stuff" - nacelles, sensors, cannons... it just looks a bit unexciting from the outside. (...)

(...) I can't offer a lot outside of pure asethetics as I haven't tackled a larger ship myself yet, but I have to say that this took a direction I didn't expect from your previews....in a very good way! The exterior shape is nicely done, although as (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) That's really cool. Nice interior, and I really really like the exterior. It's a nice change of pace to have something clean and un-greebled, if you will. Very sporty. :-) -Chris (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) I tend to agree...I've really grown to like larger engine areas...and after seeing Dan Jassim's Dragonstar I am pretty much convinced that it can be done properly. For smaller ships, I think Dan's star shuttle is another good example of cases (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) (buzzcut) (...) One could keep the wimpy-looking landing gear and instead devise a Higgs Boson Field Negator, which would cut the percieved mass of the ship tremendously. As a bonus, it could also allow you to travel at or near c with (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) I think you're missing my point. I think it's a bit odd to have the entry hatch in the middle of your cockpit/piloting area/whatever. I would think you'd want it to be located further aft, to allow for messy research stuff to be brought on (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Aahhh! I see now. Locating the hatch further back on the ship makes much more sense. When I build the Roderik's sister ship I also want to include an airlock as well. (URL) (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

I like the overall shape of the ship and the use of colors as if the minifigs painted lines on the hull. I do think (as (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)
