Q

 

..deja vue..

 

Nice upgrade, Bing. Congratulations!

 

James, Nice upgrade without the damage ! How many ships in your fleet now ?

 

Forty-three and still growing

WOW! I’m sure many members would be interested to admire all the fleet together. Is there a way you could show us a group picture ?

I can't agree more

would love to see that
My Legio II

 

It will take some work, but I will try.
