For a long time now, I've been collecting inspirational sci-fi artwork from all over the internet onto my harddrive. Last week, I started to upload the pictures to Maj. I'll be uploading more periodically, so be sure to check back. Maj sometimes (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Well, lets just say that the Caption Contest turned out even better than I hoped it would - except for two glaring omissions: Keith Goldman and Janey Red Brick. WTF? Two of the funniest people I know, both dreadfully quiet. Well - you guys had yer (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX) !

(...) There's kind of an interior, it's really not much to look at though. The armored turret left enough room for the minifig and a computer or two. I like the tile idea there, I think I'll try it out. Thanks! (21 years ago, 11-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Have you ever read Space Viking by H. Beam Piper? I cannot see the words "Space Viking" without thinking of Lucas Trask on the bridge of the Nemesis. Piper had an interesting take on future warfare with faster than light travel but still using (...) (21 years ago, 11-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
