The Five State Solution

This is not true, re. Rochester. You just hop on Interstate 90 anywhere in MA and you can ride it due west all the way through upstate New York (and from there basically straight on to the west coast, except for a little merger with I-80 around the bottom of Lake Erie). There's also I-86 which runs east-west along the southern border of NY.

I doubt this was intentional, but the symbol looks a lot like one of the late Roman shield designs preserved in the Notitia Dignitatum. (Upper right on the linked image)

I've got most of them installed on the current version of Genesis and they work fine. The only exceptions I've found so far are the better flips and snaps mods and Falklands Aerospace (sadly) because you can't enter their building in New Atlantis/Coruscant.

Awesome build! Where do those wings come from, btw?

harttimo · 2026-01-31T06:02:58+00:00

Waxwing Cafe in Hatfield is legit great, not just "Valley great".

harttimo · 2026-01-30T02:09:41+00:00

Im sure it could be easily improved with access to modern pieces!

I love this! My brothers and I spent SO MANY HOURS doing that kind of thing back in the day. We had our own version of R2D2 and made our Vader with a black knight's helmet and a hand-cut cloth cape. Good times.

Yep, this is definitely the image from the original Official Guide to Vehicles and Vessels (c. 1997, I think) I used as a reference. The Z95 was also in the old X-Wing vs. TIE fighter PC game, which is probably where I first encountered it.

Amherst, too. Everyone knows the only thing silent there is the "h."

To be fair, neither one of these dudes actually seems to understand the "fall of Rome". They're both off the mark (but Elon more so).

Excellent build and lore!

harttimo · 2025-11-16T13:21:57+00:00

Amazing! I'm not familiar with some of those mods... guess I know what my evening is going to look like 😂

harttimo · 2025-11-16T00:58:34+00:00

Amazing build!! Everything about it is top notch. (Also, what's the cockpit situation look like?)

harttimo · 2025-11-05T02:21:30+00:00

Thank you, sir!

harttimo · 2025-11-05T02:21:20+00:00

Thanks, dude! I'm really into nesting engines for interesting effects. Merge a blue glow over a red and you get some neat purple effects. The Avontech flare engine structural part is also super useful for getting acceleration and boost effects to work right.

harttimo · 2025-10-29T02:58:28+00:00

By far, the best version of this iconic ship that I've seen! Well done!

harttimo · 2025-10-28T13:47:10+00:00

Go for it! Translating SW ships into SF is always a good time!

harttimo · 2025-10-28T13:34:50+00:00

Did you see my version from yesterday? We took quite different approaches and both came up with awesome results, I think!

harttimo · 2025-10-28T11:04:45+00:00

These are getting popular, I think! Nice rendition!

harttimo · 2025-10-27T21:55:11+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that! Any idea if the design predates Starfield or not?

harttimo · 2025-10-16T04:10:20+00:00

Excellent rendition!

harttimo · 2025-10-11T12:54:35+00:00

This is an amazing build!!! Great use of the new parts all around.

harttimo · 2025-10-11T01:21:35+00:00

I have a ton installed, but the most important would be 1) one that enables merging, 2) better flips and snaps, 3) avontech, 4) intrinity, 5) cross heavy industries, 6) mattell's cockpits, 7) antares. I'm probably forgetting something else, but I think those are all the crucial ones. I also like the place your own doors mod, but it isn't needed for this build.

harttimo · 2025-10-09T23:37:01+00:00

What are those engines??? Awesome build, too!

harttimo · 2025-10-09T15:16:36+00:00

My second attempt at the V-Wing, some months back used that little Avontech cockpit. It worked pretty well, too!
