Hi everyone, Please see the IPS HF-300 Medium Freighter in my Spacecraft section. Or just click "What's New" :^) ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Very nice. However, I think it would look better if you made the sides more rounded and detailed. Also the top and bottom look very flat, and could easily have more stuff added to them. Otherwise, it's a very cool freighter, and I really like the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
