Agreed, it would be a very fast hit and run type of ship. Hopefully a skilled enough pilot would be able to avoid any major confrontation

No horrible perspective issues that I can detect.
How long does something like this take you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how is no one commenting on my crap perspective?!?
um as for time i said in a comment before that it was something like 3-4 hours on a saturday and then 1-2 on sunday. probably pretty slow...

I think it was Nei Ruffino who said something like; 'if no one complains, then it's right'

hehe i spose... i guess its just a little unnerving when no one says anything. kinda like the awkward guy in the corner that no one wants to talk to

Ain't the case. You shouldn't stress out.

I will continue in the following day off.
Thanks once again.

man that is lookin sooooo cool!
my only suggestion is that the wings should probably be angled down a little more so that the side pods become a little lower as well.
Apart from that it looks amazing!
