How many people on this list are likely to be at Cancon, BTW?

For the Full Thrust competition details, see

Also at this site is a pair of very interesting GIFs, showing relative
ship sizes ( mirror of a subsite of http://www.geocites.com/area51/1779

Amongst other things... they show that the AML models of Battlestar

Quick point out of the typo on the mirrored site:
http://www.geocites.com/area51/1779
should be:
http://www.geocities.com/area51/1779

Also, it appears that the micromachine of large ships, in the diagram Galor
Class Cardassian and the Sulaco, would also be a good match for the
Battlestar. Weird, the BS ships never looked THAT big to me. ;->=

And using NSL-based substitute B5 Omegas would work better than the AoG
ones. However, these comparisons certainly are subject to strong debate.
Having Sulaco way bigger than the Omegas are one part I'm having major
difficulties swallowing, for instance.

The Deathstar has just been issued as a model kit, I need to find some money
soon.

The good side of this is that the fleets are getting smaller and the ships are
getting bigger!

Bye for now,
