Most of you know I design starships. Lots of them. I make huge, 5,000+ word posts that take about 20 mouse wheel rolls to get through. I go into every little freaking detail, until the ship haunts your dreams and every waking moment of your sad little lives.

Well, that may change. My newest ship, the Revolution class, is a much shorter document. It does not have as much detail, but it is a faster read. Now, I want you, the average NS FT RPer (acronyms, anyone?), to vote on whether I should keep the traditional (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9683476) version, or welcome in the new, short (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10115697) one.

(note that I will try and add images to either format. Do not let images decide your vote)

I'd say a combination of the two. I love your long ones, but they are a bit long winded, and I do tend to breeze over some parts. Still, the short one is too small. Find a happy medium, perhaps.

Of course, everyone chooses the option that is the most work for me (the compremise), lol.

I say, keep the length of the old and the pictures of the new (its alot easier to visualize a ship when you've got pictures).

The reason the old ones were so descriptive was so you could do without pictures. I feel that adding pictures to something makes it... well, shallow. The only reason this new one does is because I designed the ship around em.

Well, you can still use both. If you find a picture of a ship you like, you can use a new style one to for it. Otherwise, you can use the old style for when you don't have a picture.

I intend to add a picture whenever I can, new style or not. Just be aware that they may be few and far between.

To each his, or her, own.

His, and yes.
