Sure, he runs a 3rd of the fleet, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a good time when he’s travelling.
Can I tell you what’s hard? Designing a ship. I mean, it seems easy, but there’s only so many places you can put a cockpit, an engine, and a fuselage without it looking like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar, etc.
Which isn’t always a bad thing. Homages are great. But sometimes you want to make something unique for your webcomic. Something potentially iconic.
I may or may not have succeeded, but at least the Manifest Destiny looks fun to fly, and whoosh factor was always high on my list.
Next time I need inspiration for ship designs, I’m skipping known sci-fi and going straight to AFOLs.
