Exactly! The only drawback, of course, is you gotta sacrifice underside
detail and sturdiness. But, big baseplates do end up reducing the overall
weight of the model. My carrier was actually pretty light. It had lots of
tiny pieces that contributed to it's overall count. It's nice that you added
a regualr plate in the middle so that you could extend the detail of the
underside.

Yep, yep. It's an eyecatching design, dude. Kinda like the medical frigate
at the end of "Empire."
