(URL) Click on Image I've always admired battleships and other types of naval vessels that had those huge turrets the size of cars, or even houses for that matter. You know, the (URL) kind LFB builds>. So I just had to make a spacecraft with a (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Very well done! My only criticism is the amount of space afforded to the crew, it seems a tad unrealistic given the size of the ship. I am quite taken by the simple, boxy modularity of your design. The model as a whole is asthetically pleasing (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) This is very sweet! It's a perfect example of the visual impact of color usage, studlessness, playable details and really nice photography. Even though I'm not really liking the squared-off, two-box profile(1), I still spent the last 45 (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the reply Joseph! Glad you like the overall shape (I'm still questioning if it was the right approach, myself). As for the issue of space given to the crew, I'm not quite sure what you mean... Did I provide too much space or not (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks Kyle! And thanks for the critique... More on that below. (...) Yes, in the few sketches I did for this spaceship, I did try to evoke the shape of a destroy/battleship/whathaveyou. However, in sketches, you can draw flowing lines that (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I love the turret, though from the standpoint of (probable) military design philosophy, not very likely. Whatever, though, it looks great. :) Anyhow, though it is boxy, it doesn't *look* like a box. I like how you managed to combine economy of (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

In lugnet.space, Jordan D. Greer wrote: You sure wrote a lot Jordan! (...) Heh, I know what you mean about the turret... I just wanted to make it look cool. A smaller, perhaps rounder, or more steeply angled design would have made more sense. That's (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Mmmmmm tasty. I like alot of things about this ship. I think the PD turret design is really cool, as are some of the shapes and weird parts on the engines. My only real complaint would be the solidity of the colors. It seems sort of like it's (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

You have a way with these wonderful interiors. Even though the floor is not smooth, it (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Great use of color as per usual. I really like the huge oversided rail gun turret in relation the the ship. Adds a very fantastic touch. But I was floored when I saw: (URL) For that I will sacrifice 100 yellow 2x4s in your honor. Oh glorious (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) What can I say that Hasn't been said, so I'll summarize Turret - Tick Loved the look of this, though the angles may not be "realistic" for a naval turret, this isn't a navel turret, it's a space turret. I have long admired the way you build (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jun-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I apologize for my unclear response, I was in a hurry at the time. It seemed to me that an overly large space was alloted for crew use on such a small capital craft. Looking at the ship again I can see that it has all the necessary features (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Yeah, I kinda did mess up by making the lower sections only 8 studs wide. However, I do prefer ships with (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
