(...) 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)

This is just plain fantastic. The interior detail is wonderful, and has some great creative solutions. I don't mind the boxy shape so much, as it is a CS ship. The only suggestion I have is to maybe make covers to fit over the greebed-up engines. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
