Hard as I try, I can't find a source for that.

He also wrote a climax with the Aliens in a forest on Earth, which the studio cut to his dismay, and he didn't write anything about the "newborn" and hated it. [edit] Really makes me want to render an image of an Alien Queen deep in a creepy forest, with the trees covered in that "sec...

Both were written by Whedon of course.

You're the inspiration for the STO command cruisers? That's pretty awesome. Yeah, though I haven't gotten a chance to fly her around yet. It would have been nice of them to offer me some store credit so I could buy one :P I'm also pretty excited to see her in the the 2016 Ships of the Line Calendar...

Done, thanks! I also consolidated the three Enterprise slideshows into a single more selective one.

I have a new website, http://www.spaceshipspaceshipspaceship.com showcasing my spaceship designs for Star Trek, Eve Online, Star Citizen, and others.

Please have a look, and let me know what you think, and if you find any broken links, misspelled words or formatting errors. Thanks!

I like to think they are all looking at the eclipse :p

Close. 12, and one is overlapping the Drake.

Good job! Still more than nine

Who would you expect to win the fight?

More than 7.

Yep.

Wow, thanks man!

You know it's one hell of a competition when something as technically stunning as the Four Horseman team ends up in the save vote. That is some seriously, seriously impressive work. I think there's very little chance that Four Horsemen fails to get lifted back up by the save, which just leaves one ...

Working on the cockpit today has been really challenging but really rewarding. I put a lot of time into a comfortable seat and dual pistol grip joysticks with plenty of buttons in natural places. I've got the same beefy secondary external cage as the Aurora, with a bit of visible wiring leading to t...

Found a big blind spot.

Moved the tail gun to the belly, but it was blocking the entry ramp, so I slid it to the right as much as I could and put both guns on the right side of the turret.

Better firing arcs and a bit more (logically justified) asymmetry now.

Just submitted a painted over first draft of the completed model! Hopefully they'll want to show it to you soon :) - The power core is under the nose. - vs 1 opponent. AC-130 style. All weapon point up and to the left side, while the armor protects from the same angle. vs 2+ opponents The Pilot's tu...

I chickened out on the detachable pods. I've finished the first draft with both turrets attached dorsally along the spine. They are now accessible from the interior.

[edit] Also, Mercs on Motorcycles is just too perfect. I may be violating my own "Rule of Cool" philosophy, but I'm gonna push some more limits. Safe to say any more moving parts would be too many however. Think I'm at critical mass in that department.

Uh...I really, really REALLY think you should reconsider that. That sounds like the sort of needlessly complex transformer/combiner crap that ends up in bad anime, not a serious setting. You're finally homing in on a good, solid design, and I think that runs the risk of getting a great many '...wha...

Having slept on it, I'm gonna do detachable turrets unless RSI tells me not to. Little motorcycle turrets that will fit inside the cargo hold if the shield gets blown off. For an hour yesterday I had actually moved the manned turrets to the other side, as it seemed ruthless to put them out on a surf...
