Hey, don't put your self down man. From what you showed to me in the past
few weeks, it is quite cool. It has that rugged freighter look to it...

Ah, cool, no problem! You should fel very lucky to have a Galaxy Explorer!

I can in fact be a winess for this detail. Although I don't think all of the
sudden someone is going to announce that they came up with some idea, and

find an idea you like, go ahead and copy it! Just try to expand on it a bit
so you can say it was inspired by whoever...
Play well!
