hi group, well i like the old smooth N.A.C design, but if you redid the 
necks so that they fit better , eg like the U.NS.C. ships and the new space 
bases , then that would suit me , as it would fix both problems , i wouldnt 
like to see N.A.C ships that look close to Earth Force ships , as what would 
be the point of buying them , if you already had a Earthforce fleet and i 
like the Full Thrust ships better, ....

regards james mitchell
