Hi Everyone, I'm proud to anounce my HSF-100 Ibis Starfighter, the newest of my creations. (Yeah I know I've been slack lately) I created this after I saw a very cool picture in a Playstation game ad for the game Silpheed. (URL) Mark's Lego (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space) !

WOW! I'm impressed and amazed at the detail on it! The cockpit and the sliding canopy are awesome, not to mention all those huge (and destructive -yikes!) weapons mounted everywhere on it. Oh boy, my "DarkFog" would be destroyed before it even (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I love it! It looks like a cross between an F-22 and a Wraith. Although I realize you were building it after something, so you were probably trying to make it look as much like the picture as possible, that large, belly mounted, gun would look (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Heh. Thanks. I haven't even thought of what role this starfighter might play, though it would definitely be that of a Heavy Starfighter, perhaps anti-capital ship. (...) Yeah, I knew all that. Basically, I was just feeling too lazy to put (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I kind of like it. I figure it would serve as an anti-capital ship weapon, perhaps with limited shots, or some kind of reactor that took time to recharge in between shots. As for being streamlined... heck, it's space, man! :^) In any case, I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

Mark, I'm impressed! Very slick looking starfighter design. Anti-capital ship? It should serve well under that role. It would attack with that large belly mounted energy weapon? Does it have other defenses? My anti-capital ship design is (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Pat, I really just copied the cool picture and then sort of decided that it should be an anit-capital starfighter ;^) There is, of course, the large cannon mounted ventrally, then there are the four large laser cannons on the wings, and (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yeah, that's the one thing that made me do the doggie-head-tilt- "rarf?"-manoeuvre. The giant honkin' ingot. But it looks great, very, well, bludgeony. Would it be too risque to call your fighter, dare I say it, "well-hung?" (...) I first saw (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.space)
