Design-wise I share your POV 100% Jinx (although I've readily invited desenting opinions lately cause my opinions are really just one of many) What you have created with the Claymore has a huge & logical influence on what the Gaian aesthetic should be, & I personally have latched onto it with open arms. (I remember the original GB you made) & the pre-.85 redux you created to replace it was absolutely PERFECT... & to this day, it has more to do with changing the way I imagine the Gaians than you probably know...thank you for that:cool:
The Gaian VHF that has been up in the air for so long is also a real inspiration, as it illustrates a logical update of the aesthetic you've created already & you have given a true baseline to build on for future shipline desires.
(indecently, when us Gaians make phallis jokes about the gunboat, it's only as a term of endearment...all the words from the rest need to always be ignored)
...incedently, We in the NLH have been arguing & voting about the Claymore recently as a result of your Mk2 submission, & although I'm no longer the end all-be all 'bottom liner' in my faction, I'm fighting tooth & nail for maintaining the current design. It already rocks beyond measure & base aesthetic shouldn't be thrown away just cause another option shakes its ass at us.
Again, Thank you...though I'm not sure even latin has the words to express my thanks of the inspiration you've provided thus far:cool:
