| | | | | (...) This is a very cool upgrade! The colors are really nice and the wing shape is unique. I dig the big gun! How'd you mount it in that cone piece? My only complaint is that is has no landing gear, but that's only a minor problem. Hope to see more (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Hey thanks! Had the main rebuild done a month ago but something seemed wrong... even the pics I took back then all came out blurry. So after staring at it for a while I swapped out four 2x1 45 degree slope bricks for 4 3x1 33 degree slopes and (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Ice planet - I almost went there... except I wanted the engine exhaust ports to be a different color than the weapons... yeah, that's an almost reasonable sounding excuse :) As for evolving skills... Taking a chronological approach, I'm not (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

White and blue look great together, and the fighter design is definately interesting - especially that front area with the things coming out. good stuff!

| | | | | Nice work, TRS. I'm not usually partial to (URL) 'SPOT'> styled ships, but this one does catch my eye. I quite like the external monitor and the balance of greebles to clear space. I don't think this one needs or could stand more greebles. And, I (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The wing designs caught my eye- I like the small wings on the very back put at an odd angle and the lasers underneath that swing out. Very cool. Very swooshable a (...)
