RE: [OFFICIAL] MORE NEW STUFF NEWS!!

I second this motion!
I looked all day for your site yesterday (I found it by accident 3 times
on
Tuesday) to point to the Japanese fighter you have displayed.
Jon T., I think that this would be a good picture for inspiration when
you
design the Japanese ships. This is _EXACTLY_ what I pictured for the
Japanese (just put a trigger on the lower part and it looks like a gun
used
by a Mech). The ship pictured could be a destroyer or cruiser depending
on
its size. The contoured and radial-beveled design is the way to go with
the
Japanese fleet. It seems to combine a sense of artistic/elegance with
deadly
functionality.

When you do get around to doing the LLAR, I would think that it may be
worth
it to investigate a fleet doctrine based on carriers (micro-mega).
