Subject: Another Superior question

I have a few Superior ships that I managed to find, all of the same shape, and
I am looking to get a few more. The problem is that I have no idea what the
name of the particular fleet is. The shape is something like
this....

...although the bit at the front, the paranthesis thingies, is actually a
sphere on the ships. Damned ASCI art.... If anyone knows, please tell me; when
I finally get around to contacting Pewtercraft, I want to know what I'm asking
for. Any help at all would be appreciated.

universe.......

Hmmmm, looks like an Avarian United Worlds ship to me!

Good job on the ASCII art, btw. I've seen worse.  ;-)

Avarian United Worlds. That's what you have there.

Thanks, I'm thinking of starting an ASCII portrait service.... Or maybe not.
Apparently, the ships I have are Birdie ships (or so the general consensus
seems to be), so now I have to start saving up to buy enough for an actual
fllet! One carrier, one Dreadnaught, 2 hvy cruisers and a destroyer just
aren't enough for me!

Want me to point you in the direction of Dr ASCII? There's a guy on the
rec.climbing newsgroup who suddenly discovered last fall he has an awesome
talent for being able to translate climbing technique into ASCII art -
and does an excellent job!

He coulda probably given full ASCII detail to the ship you drew.  ;-)

Ditto. I have a smattering of the Superior ships - and want more!
Couldn't afford 'em all at the time they were out; I was but a poor college
student.
Now I'm just a poor working stiff.  :-)  (I only got a dreadnought-sized
thing, a heavy cruiser, and destroyer for the Avarian dudes)
