I don't like the fighter so much.  Seems like he doesn't have
enough "flash" to him.  Must be a groundling.  lol

I can understand that.  Did I miss the rastipede?

Amen.  Stupid Polyhedron, cutting out the great ship itself, stupid logo,
grumble grumble...

I don't remember right off, but I don't recall much in the way of

Oh, yeah!  That's right.

Hey, who came up with the Hackjammer name?  I wanna say I did as well, or
