Great. Now all we have to do is patch the world back together after Drew put a rocket up it (In the nicest possible way of course) and everything should be back on track. Shouldn't be too hard. It's just like infinite crisis but with less spandex.
Not just any missile, but a modded hardhead tipped with a cascade warhead. With Raxxla thrown into the blast just for the lols.

It would be cool to see a Griff-ified version of it. :)

A gleaming red Barchetta from a better, vanished time..."

I too am eager to see what hides below the tarp.

"We tried looking under a corner of the tarp, but it was just too dark to make anything out. However, the contours beneath the tarp, certainly didn't match the profile of any other ship I could think of."

Just a quick render (about an hour to remember how to do cloth simulations...), as a test. I am contemplating illustrations...

Thoughts?

Ooo... I know that shape! Took a minute to decide between two possible contenders, but yes, I'm pretty confident I've nailed it! :wink:

And yes, I like the idea of some illustrations.

Yup.. must be one hell of a droid, too.. that tarp's about as big as all the courses of the Preußen combined! :shock:

The ship is almost certainly a Death To Triangles production...

Hehe!

The only problem with illustrations, will come down to time. I will have to keep them as simple and basic as possible, as modeling actual docking bays, ship interiors etc.. would take an enormous amount of time.

But, I am still pondering... }:]

:lol: Perhaps a bit of a spoiler hunh? };] That was another worry and consideration about doing illustrations.

Less is more. A small vignette every now and again just to add a tiny dash of 'colour'.

Should the writing slow down a Q-Bomb will be dropped :wink:

At first, it was to be Old Tom on a tractor type thingy, just pulling it off, but I have to keep reminding myself... technology!

I have a vague-ish idea of what I think the droid might look like. Maybe I will do a follow up... But that would delay the story... I wish we could re-arrange posts! };]

:twisted: Indeed it is, my favorite so far (but I am really liking the War Lance now too!). However, I just couldn't justify him getting one of those (at least not this early in the game! };])!
