Yep, the Grand Admiral stopped by for a preliminary inspection.

When I first completed the main body of the ship (hangerbay, engines, etc) I
picked it up, carried it to the next room to show my wife, and shook it back
and forth fast (uhh, turbulence simulation?). Anyway, that sucker is solid,
very whooshable!

There is an airlock on the right side of the bridge (an elongated octogon).
The torpedo room will eventually have a third wall to enclose it, and a
snazzy entry.

I don't know, it's a mixture of Star Wars, Star Trek, old Japanimation, and
other stuff. Glad you dig it!
