I'm in the mood to create and I'm issuing myself a personal challenge:

Provided nothing comes up and I don't have any unexpected dinner invitations, etc., I'm going to model, texture, script and release a brand new ship from scratch all in one day just to see if I can do it!  Should be updates throughout the day.

Are you making it up on the fly or shooting for something canon?

On the fly, man!  I think canon would probably be impossible.

Like someone pointing a weapon to your head "Finish the ship or I'll finish you - you got 12 hours."?

Well at least you can get it finished and released before the nitpickers start to add their 10 cents of advise.

"IMO you should have used JT3245-B14 nacelles not the JT3245-B12 ones" :help:
or
"Why not make the saucer a cude instead similar to the boris class" :hithead:

Haha.  True enough.

These nitpickers just want to help sometimes. better correct it while you still can instead when its finished and everyone is saying that it sucks ;)
