I almost did that myself...had I actually dropped it on the floor (which is
concrete where I was, and cluttered with stuff we're working on sorting
through) it would have not been pleasant. I'd have pieces lost till the
fateful and as yet unforseen day we opt to sell and move. Better than gone
forever, but not by much..

Thanks for the compliments. Coming from "Dan the man" it means a lot.
Especially with the things you've whipped up.
I'm not sure I like or dislike the hubs. I'm somewhat neutral on them - I'm
mostly using them because they're the best thing I have for engines at the
moment. Next time I'll try something else.
They're certainly heavy for one thing. Amazingly enough, they actually make
the thing rear-end heavy and making the nose gear little more than
stabilization and not much in the way of load bearing...! And the ship isn't
small, nor very hollow - lots of 2x2, 2x3, 2x4 and even 2x6 bricks between
the hull and the interior deckplates.. and it still balances to the rear..
Oi. :)
