Re: How d'you like your starships, fried or boiled..? Was: [GZG] Re: [OFFICIAL] New GZG starships!

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
