Ack, duplicating Newton Ewell's hyper-complexity, even with a program this easy and fun, might drive me to drink.
But if I succeeded in nailing that style, it would be some sweet-looking stuff.


so build the Splugorth magic spacecraft. they had to get around the 3G's somehow before the Kittani were found, and they'd need at least a few types of spacecraft to deal with the other starnations.

think age of sail, fan-sails, eyes of eylor, and Pyramids...

el magico -- darklorddc wrote:The Archer-Class Escort Carrier

This ship was the main fighting vessel that led to human victory in the first war, but its age and size, in comparison to the new Liberty-Class Carriers, has resulted in it being downgraded to an Escort Carrier. It also sees a lot of use by Special Forces squadrons.

Any resemblance to another famous carrier from a particular video game that also fought cat-like aliens is, actually, totally coincidental and was not realized by the author until after he'd designed it.

Arkhons...from the second Rifts South America book...technologically advanced cat-aliens with psionic powers...They have advanced energy weapons and energy-resistant ceramic armor,...the ones in SA2 are exilees from a larger spacefaring nation(they got booted out for making trouble,,,and it's presumed that they weren't allowed to take really advanced weapons or ships with them to prevent them from just turning around and coming back to make more trouble)..so there's still a larger, more powerful, parent culture out there..

I'm looking forward to seeing new material! Hopefully we'll see some really soon!
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."

El magico has a very nice website. Check it out. There is a link in his signature! It is worth checking out.
