I am impressed with some features of the space craft but you are correct in
saying that this space craft resembles a F-16, which it does quite resemble
that particular aircraft. I am not impressed, however, that you have used
some names for some of the vessels for my LEGO Space theme but then again,
you did not know that I was using those names so let me help you find new
names for your space craft and help you build your base if you have any
problems with your space base.
