I'm a huge fan of retro-future and I really dig the PCS and Star Ranger stuff
(and Hoffman's Eastern Bloc).
It's totally groovy man.
That's one groovy command pod. Awesome how it's angled and not a traditional
straightforward cockpit. Perfect for surveillance or reconnaissance - Nice
sweeping view.
So much functionality. So much playability.
I love the way the man gun appear to have all these moving parts. I imagine that
they all spin in opposite directions when the weapon is charging up to fire. The
same thing with you're engine on the Fazoom, I expect there to be tons of flying
parts as the engine screams to life and blasts the ship into orbit.
I've actually printed out pics of that ship to study it more. I am totally going
to steal every idea I possibly can from you...
Oh man, do I love your stuff. If it would marry me, I would dump the wife in a
heartbeat.
Okay, that was probably a little much...
