IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "You sank my battleship!"  Well, it is in the process of
being blown up, anyway.  The design of the pyramidal ship is based loosely on
the Tholian ships from the Star Fleet Battles game, and the disk/dumbell ones
are (also very loosely) based on the Gorn ships in the same game.  It is,
roughly, the second in a series of images, the 3nd is also submitted 
as cdp-sf1a; the 1st is not actually anywhere near completed.  Technically
speaking this is also not actually finished, but it is close enough.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:  By hand.  Just a text editor and
the occasional bit of paper.  And lots of test renders.
