Well, it had to be done - there are now ships named for three of our best-known posters on Starbuck's Shipyard. Baloo, Cargile, Hobbes - take a bow. Unfortunately the Crosswinds servers are offline at the moment; I'll keep trying to upload the updates, but don't hold your breath *sigh*. I'll put another post in when it's all up and running again... Then you can all come enter my contest too!------------------ "Replicate some marmalade, Commander - helm control is toast!"

Best known posters? Er, how to you mean? If you're talking about people who post a lot, Cargile definately wouldn't be there considering he hasn't posted here in ages... But if you're talking about people who are widely known, then Cargile would be in there....------------------ "Yes. I have seventeen brains! And eleven legs.

I'm deeply honored, but expected a ship named after me would have a less serious quote on its commissioning plaque than actually appears .------------------ "Helping Tomorrow Feel Superior by Scoffing at Yesterday." --James Lileks [Motto of The Institute of Official Cheer.] http://www.geocities.com/cyrano_jones.geo/

Well, thanks. Suprised to be listed a "three stooge" too. When I saw the topic I figured my name wouldn't be there. Anyways....Can't get to the page, that server must be down again. ------------------ "The Borg wouldn't know fun if they assimilated an amusement park" - Torres Federation Starship Datalink - On that annoying Tripod server.

Decided to make a ship in his name too. I'd upload it on my site but Tripod is a bitch when it comes to pics so I emailed it to Fabrux.Still can't get to that page either. Though it seems hard to believe, Crosswinds appears to be worse than Tripod and Xoom put together. ------------------ "In sporting events it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get." - Homer Simpson Federation Starship Datalink - On that annoying Tripod server, sucks don't it?

Here's Hobbes's self-titled ship. Interesting design, although why he put put 8 photon torpedo launchers on each nacelle is beyond me... ------------------ "Yes. I have seventeen brains! And eleven legs. And a pecan." -Frank Gerratana, March 3, 2000

Ya know, I was wondering. Just which stooge am I supposed to be?You know, there were really six Stooges. You think I'm kidding? There was: - Moe Howard
- Larry Fine
- Curly Howard
- Shemp Howard
- Joe Derita
- Joe Besser
And what about Hobbes? ------------------ "Helping Tomorrow Feel Superior by Scoffing at Yesterday." --James Lileks [Motto of The Institute of Official Cheer.] http://www.geocities.com/cyrano_jones.geo/

Well thanks Fabrux, but I was kinda hoping to post it myself. I even made up some specs for it. Oh, by the way, those are suppose to be phaser strips like on the Galaxy-class nacelles not torpedo launchers.Hobbes-class; a hybrid of Galaxy/Nebula/Excelsior design with technology that meets the standards set by the more advanced starships in Starfleet such as the Intrepid, Defiant, and Prometheus-classes. The prototype was launched in late 2374 and in 2375 was fully commissioned. Length: 674.90 meters Height: 172.25 meters Beam: 455.31 meters Mass: 4,550,000 metric tons Accomodation: 847 crew Weapons: Nine Type-10 phasers; Four photon/quantum torpedo launchers Warp Speed: 9.9 I FINALLY got to see your ships Starbuck, not bad at all. ------------------ "In sporting events it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get." - Homer Simpson Federation Starship Datalink - On that annoying Tripod server, sucks don't it?

I don't get the Galaxy/Nebula, seeing as where they're the same thing, only arranged differently and the Nebula has a pod.. ------------------ "Yes. I have seventeen brains! And eleven legs. And a pecan." -Frank Gerratana, March 3, 2000

Baloo: You've got the last two out of order. And, personally, you strike me as the Shemp type, for some reason. :-)Can I be Curl(e)y? I can do a pretty good "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!" and "N'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk"... :-) ------------------ Homer: "I can see what's happening. They did it to Jesus, and now they're doing it to me."

For some reason I keep on remembering an ep of Alien Nation I saw once where an alien watches the 3 Stooges and apparently "nyuk nyuk nyuk" is an obscenity in their language...------------------ "Yes. I have seventeen brains! And eleven legs. And a pecan." -Frank Gerratana, March 3, 2000

So... I will admit the Crosswinds server is a bit ropey at times... and maybe I don't know as much about the Three Stooges as you guys... But you gotta admit, at least I'm trying!!!Hobbes: What did you think of the quote for yours? Baloo: Got any better ideas? BTW I see noone's entered my email contest yet. Come on, visit the site and have a go!! Minor fix now in place. Oh, and Laz has given me permission to produce a shipkit. Watch this space!! ------------------ "Replicate some marmalade, Commander - helm control is toast!"

Well it's a quote from Something Under The Bed Is Drooling... so I thought you'd like it! I'd like to see some of your kitbashes - where do you keep them? Or would you like a Starbuck's Shipyard Guest Gallery?------------------ "Replicate some marmalade, Commander - helm control is toast!"
