Get them now, before I feel like I'm completely ignored and remove the files!

Very nice work. One gripe, though: you need to try out Descent. Nico was right: the Kelpie does slightly resemble a Pyro-GL.

*snicker*
Anyway, Raa, I've already got plans to integrate at least one of these, maybe two, into something...
With your permission, of course.

MS: Sure.
BW: Kelpie was on Pantheon.org as a horse-daemon of some sort... One that is often seen by lakes, but when one tries to saddle it, it'll jump into the lack and leave it's skin (or something) on the shore... with the attempted saddler unharmed? But I guess you named your dog Kelpie.

Nope - Kelpie is a breed of sheepdog, one of which is pictured above. My dog's called Harry.

Would download it, but don't have any use for it right now. Not downloading any ship, unless it is a Hi-poly version.

Kelpie features in Scots mythology, IIRC it's similar to the Selkie (or even the same thing).

"In old Scotland, the Kelpie is a treacherous water devil who lurks in lakes and rivers. It usually assumes the shape of a young horse. When a tired traveler stops by a lake to rest or to have a drink, he would see a horse, apparently peacefully grazing. When he mounts the horse, the Kelpie dives into the water, but besides wet clothes, the rider gets away unharmed. "
"The shy Selkies are marine creatures in the shape of a seal. They can be found near the islands of Orkney and Shetland. A female can shed her skin and come ashore as a beautiful woman. When a man finds the skin, he can force the Selkie to be a good, if somewhat sad, wife. Should she ever recover the skin, she will immediately return to sea, leaving her husband behind. The male Selkies are responsible for storms and also for the sinking of ships, which is their way of avenging the hunting of seals."

Just so you know, Raa, I did remove about 4 of the gunpoints, I need a medium assault fighter, not something with more firepower than the Erinyes.
And the Lonsa may also get used. Just remember, I alter tech descriptions and tables to suit my own needs...
