| At the Wednesday buildfest Tony explained that he hasn't been working on his conversion, he wasn't sure we would want it in the dio. Apparently some Trek fans don't like Star Wars designs, we convinced him that a Star Wars style freighter would be perfect for the station. A docking slip is set aside for it if he can finish it. . .If he can finish it in time? This design has been in Tony's mind from the earliest beginnings. Note in the picture the lower saucer has had it's sensor dome and surrounding circular hull sections removed for the conversion now, back under construction. |
