There's a square brass rod inside the pods from front to back for alignment and strength. <br /><br />I weathered the ol' girl up good - Ptolemy's been out cruising the spacelanes for a good long time. <br /><br />The Franz Joseph fleet so far: <br /><a href="http://www.inpayne.com/temp/fleet-008.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.inpayne.com/temp/fleet-008.jpg</a> <br /></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Pretty damn incredible, huh? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mark Nguyen</b> <br /><small>Member # 469</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,16,6,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 16, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:43 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Holy outie bridge, Batman!
