    @UnknownVectors Okay, I liked and rated you last Unknown Mass. I'm. A sci-first fan, and would like to see a symmetrical version, air launched, that resembles the Romulan ship that dropped red matter into planet Vulcan. It's somewhat like your model.

    @Stingray Have you tried making non symmetric planes? I would not recommend it. I am not doing that again.
