I could feel that thrilling people as i wrote it like a man posessed. I slept with great joy before I even knew that i had definitely thrilled somebody.
I'm just about back to normal now, though.
Yeah, I want a frickin flying car!

Thrilling somebody usually causes one to sleep with great joy.

Yes. It has restored my faith in humanity. No more customized DeLoreans!

So, any more progress on the chart? Or do we have to carry on this conversation about flying cars and silly, silly Star Wars fanatics?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

A bit of progress. I've added a few ships, and did indeed find that image of Mega Maid that was mentioned earlier. At this point, I'm probably going to work on rearranging the ships I've got and get the current chart ready, and then do the secondary charts (for ships smaller than, say, 350 meters) afterwards.
At this point, the one ship that I really want to have is Moya, from "Farscape." I haven't found a single fan-made image of Moya yet -- and there are no decent images that have Moya in a side profile. (There's one shot, from "Nerve" in the first season, but the ship is silhouetted against a planet and thus the coloring is not right for the chart.)
Anyone know if there's a fan model of Moya out there?

"Moia"? Heh, it seems that that particular webmaster doesn't watch the show...
Thanks, Shik. I'll look into the Valley Forge a bit.

It's not about watching the show, it's about copyright infringement issues. There's plenty of models of the Rodger Young from "Starship Troopers" out there (& another good addition to the chart!), but they're called things like "Starship Carrier" & the like to prevent CI problems.

But wouldn't the carrier from TRON be like ultra-microscopic what with it being, like, a virtual contruct within the computer system.
