Pat answers: Well, that first PP presentation was made months before I was a
BrickShelf or LUGNET member, and thus I didn't know about the Mark I or IV
destroyers, or Daniel's carrier at all. That's one of the reasons I'm
expanding it, to include these vessels. I am glad that there's been no real
opposition to the project. Plus, you have to remember that folks like Jon
are active all the time, adding new stuff. There has to be a point where you
say, OK, it's cutoff time.
And yes, the speed (or lack thereof) downloading is a real concern. I
cannot solve this using ZIP because to my knowledge, all zip files are
automatically unzipped upon upload to BrickShelf.

Pat answers: True; with 29 names there were bound to be a few free agents in
there that no one had ever heard of before. Remember, this was when Kevin
Loch's search feature was still in the making, so I went through every
single member portfolio on BrickShelf seeking anything that even resembled a
spaceship (except Mechs); needless to say, this took awhile.

Pat answers: I appreciate the correction, and I'm not sure, given the
current format of the slideshow, how I'll tie both Brandon and Tim to the
same pic, but it'll work itself out. And now I have Trevor Pruden attached
to Mark IV.

Pat closes: Thanks, guys, for looking at the slide presentation and taking
time to share your views. These discussions are great sources of motivation.
A couple of new things I have already begun to implement with the expanded
presentation:
- Caption under each pic showing name of the vessel
- Most ships have multiple views, so future slides will show a main view
(largest pic on slide) with two or so smaller pics showing alternate views.
Peace,
Pat
