lol. I love it. Shame my missus won't share my enthusiasm

Interesting, but it's not a real alien. Thanks for getting my hopes up Final *sniff*.

what would you do with a real alien esky? feed it ginger beer?

The last "Quiz of the Week" with Harriers ship made me hoping someone would design/make a FL-ship in the "Alien"-Style. (Remember the Ridley Scott movie of 1980 ? - one of the best ever made imo). The Designer of the Alien is HR Giger, and his designs would make a GREAT nomad ship.

do a forum search for "Alien" and "Aliens" and you'll find we've discussed that one on several occasions. Giger is a genius though - and its nice to see that people appreciate his work

I know that you're a Giger-fan, grom; but as far as I know knowbody ever has designed a FL-Ship in the "Giger"-Style. Correct me if i'm wrong.
But i would loooove to see Porsche's or Harrier's shipwriting with gigerish textures. Must be awesome.

btw: <cough,cough> I met HRG personally on several occasions

sorry zazie, my last post was a bit short, I must have been in a bad mood or something. Apologies if it came across stroppy.

Making a giger-esque freelancer ship (or even entire environment) would be absolutely awesome. I'm not entirely convinced that our machines would be able to cope with the processing of that amount of detail though...but why don't you put a request out on the FL builder forums?

No problem, no need for apologies, you were not rude. Thanks for the input - with that support FL builders hopefully might be more motivated to try.
