IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
        "Kirk's Nightmare"
        The Enterprise has been boarded!  Life support is failing and the
        intruders have reached the bridge.  There's nothing you can do as
        the unknown assailant- his face covered by an environment suit-
        raises his weapon and fires...
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
        The Space Suit was designed to be fully articulated, each joint placed
        relative to the last.  Example: joint 2 of a finger is rotated into
        the desired orientation, translated the length of joint 1, then rotated
        identically to joint 1.  This means you don't have to worry about
        lining up joints manually, you just need to keep all of the rotations
        matching (or you could use String Identifiers to control all the
        connected rotations at once).
        The Bridge is made up of several CSG templates based on my "official"
        blueprints, the halos and lighting were mainly trial and error though.
