| | | (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)

| | | | | | (...) 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)

|
| | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | (...) Oh, that's what I thought you meant. Thanks for clarifying it anyway. :-) In some ways I agree with you though. I think it was Jeremy Sproat, or someone else that I can't recall precisely, who said that a certain percentage of a spaceship (...) (20 years ago, 13-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)

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 (...)

|
| | | | | (...) 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)

|
| | | | | (...) 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)

I didn't want to mix up the colours like I did (URL) last time>, but this extreme form of colour grouping doesn't work well either. Your suggestions are good though. I'll take (...)

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)

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 do agree with a lot of what some others commented like needing to "taper" the connection between the lower and upper level and how awesome the interior is. Definitely need more room for life support systems (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.space)
