Hi! This is my preliminary work for the current IRTC-topic (ruins). I have
big plans for this, so tell me what you think. What it is? Some sort of
alien craft.

An asteroid/small moon converted to a colony ship?
Will you name it the "Marathon"? :-)

I interpret that as sarcasm. :(
No, that was not what I wanted it to look like. Where do you see that
asteroid? If I wanted to make that, it would have looked different, I think.
And the topic is 'ruins.' Hm.
I call this object the 'stabilizer'.

No sarcasm intended...I was referring to the computer game "Marathon",
which starts out on a colony ship with the same name. The ship was
really a conversion of Deimos, one of the two moons of Mars, and was the
size of a relatively large asteroid. There were other ships built from
smaller asteroids...

Well, from what I have read, Deimos is roughly potato shaped. This looks
like what I would expect to end up with after excavating and smoothing
over a planetoid in the process of converting it to a habitable
structure.

Hmm, the stabilizer for what?

It's supposed to be som kind of 'stabilizer' for an alien building. That of
course collapses. And the event should occur in my image. I don't know how
the 'stabilizer' work, because it's alien. (duh..)
I'm quite satisfied with the idea, actually. But what du you _think_ about
the thingy? Any suggestions? Anything?

I have been absent from these NGs for quite a while (almost one year),
and am wondering what _bu or similar means. I guess it means: Before
UUencode. Am I right?

Yup. "Before upload," "Before UUEncode," whatever. I find it hard to know
exactly how big binary postings are before I post, so...

Hmm, an anti-grav pod with the remains of a support column still
attached to it?

Maybe a couple crumbling buildings hovering around in the
background-something like Niven's "Ringworld".

Multiply by 1.333 and that's "after upload". Easy.
Your picture reminds me strongly of the "Easter Eggs" we had as a child:
made of chocolate and with a ridged surface exactly like your ship, for
easier breaking the egg into smaller parts. I am not very familiar with
space ships, nor any more with easter eggs :) I hope you don't feel offended
by this??

Looks like a slightly broken, badly melted easter egg. Yum!!
Nice texture on the shell, crackle??
