(...) Well it doesn't feel boxy to me until my eye gets right up to that front area where the corners poke out. Hey, what if you put the big Comm dish on the front? Just a thought. -Grand Admiral .space Curator (URL) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Maybe. I was going for a Y-wing kind of look, where the covers have been removed to facilitate maintenance. And I think they look cool, so why not shw 'em off? :-) (...) Thanks! (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Glad you like it. I think a big bubble on front sounds kinda luxurious, and I was going for the strictly utilitarian look. I agree that something needs to be done about the boxiness though. (...) This SHIP has been in the planning/contruction (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Unholy indeed, but yep, Star Wars and Jassim. Doesn't get any better. Two-stud-thick walls make it possible to build details right into the walls. And they're a lot stronger than single-stud. I agree about the proportions. The superstructure (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Admiral. Can't wait to see more pics of the Vanguard. The shuttlebay/engine arrangement of that one looks real good (and a little familiar ;-) I concocted the converted freighter bit as a way to explain how blocky this thing turned out. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! The arboretum serves several functions: it helps recycle the atmosphere, it's a source of fresh fruits and vegetables, it is a place to keep botanical samples, and it's a nice place for the crew to relax. Every ship should have one! I (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'm with you 100% about the blockiness. I must confess that the blocky shape made it a lot easier to fit in all of the interior details, though. The dark gray ribs, the "wings", the superstructure, and the exterior engines were all attempts to (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Man I wake up this morning and everyone's talking about that one thing, y'know? And this is that One Thing. Freakin awesome. You've made my day with this ship, Paul. I can't believe some of the stuff I see in this ship. Some of it is so (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
