Hmmm, whats this?

Post by Pheonix Starflare »

I was browsing the Gamespot Starshatter section (i needed to d/l the demo for my new computer) and i came upon the following picture in the screenshots section from march:

Whats this? A new ship and a drydock? Looks almost like a civilian luxury liner or something similar, rather than a warship.

Milo,

Awesome artwork, but one minor technical issue. How the heck is "USS Whatzit" gonna get out of spacedock? The engine pods extend well past the frame of the building slip!

Seems like a good way to suicide on your maiden voyage! Partial disassembly of the spacedock seems like poor planning on some office-bound engineers part to me.
