Oh...man..... somehow what happened doesn't seem so bad now.... o_o
I think I would be sick to death if that happened.
The worst that happened to me was that I launched a 2x2 red tile across the
basement..I have no clue where it went - it went of the starport's long
range sensors in about 2 seconds, leaving only the faint echoes behind as it
skipped off of space junk outside the spacelanes... fortunately, the drydock
has enough spare parts that it won't be missed and eventually a recovery
crew will be dispatched to scour the sector and recover it for restoration. :)
I've got the gear installed, now (and they turned out pretty well I think!),
but I'm trying to do something with the engingeering area in the back part
of the ship.. I wanted to try and put some more of the engine's gear there
but with the other rooms and all, I just don't have the space.. and I'm not
sure I want to vastly revise the ship to change it considering the challenge
rebuilding the lower hull proved to be. blah. :)
