(...) If you get a chance, ask Dan if he was insprired at all by Traveler. I don't know why, but for some reason his carrier design really reminds me of one of the ship designs in GDW's Traveler. (...) This new ship serves as further proof that he (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) It's just amazing. I can't help but think back to the days I used to play Wing Commander, WC2 and WC3. It looks kind of like the TCS Tiger's Claw from that Origin space combat series.. other than not having any real blue highlights as I recall (...)

(...) G'day Joel, I'm thinking the same thing. First time I saw it I figured it had to be the TC, may she R.I.P. (bloody stealth fighters!) :] The TC definitely had that amount of green on it, but you're right, it seems to be missing a little blue, (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I've got to get my tail in gear and put the final touches on the star fighter I've been working on and get pictures. Nothing nearly so big but since I've (...)

[Trimmed to lugnet.space] (...) G'day Joel, Yeah ditto for me. I made the mistake of hunting down the Voltron ship I mentioned..., it was called the "Explorer". Here's the only image I could find of it: (URL) I'm torn between wanting to build that (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
