That was my hope. I don’t build this stuff just to annoy (though, to be honest, I do derive a little satisfaction from that aspect of it, but it’s a minor consideration at most), and although I enjoy sharing these MOC’s, I know that the ot.clones audience is quite small; by posting the initial heads-up to the broadly relevant group with an appropriate FUT, I figure that I can get the attention of onlookers without lingering in one of the officially-themed areas.

   So I don’t think I personally have an issue. If this truly is a question we need to dig into officially, XFUT to admin somewhere and I’ll make sure other admins are aware.

As to not posting on it, I can’t speak for others, but as for myself I didnt post for two major reasons:
  • I’m not that much of a spacer (although I am a little bit).
  • I didn’t think it was Dave’s best work. It didn’t seem all that blacktronish to me. (compare with his IP2002 apocryphal, that seemed more “on theme” to me... YMMV). Hence, keeping Thumper’s father’s admonition in mind, I chose to not say anything.

Now that’s constructive! I’m new at the pod-racer design game, so any feedback to help with my baby steps will be valuable.

Whether or not it’s sufficiently Blacktronish, is the raw design interesting?

Thanks for the input.

Dave!

Should we FUT again?

(...) Personally (not officially!) I think Dave found the right level of compromise. The craft is clearly a spacecraft, not a tugboat so it's a spacey topic, not a castly or towny one. People talk about non LEGO but space related topics here (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
