I have a first concept for the solar pannels, but they look rather
plain so far.  I tweaked the laser beams a little, and added hydrolic
arms to the foreward ram so I could raise the aft arm to 90 degrees, but
I'm having massive ammounts of trouble getting pov to calculate the
translation of the foreward ram along it's track in relation to the
angle of the arms.  The arms maintain complimentary but opposing angles
until they reach equilibrium at sixty degrees and all sides become
equal, but then the aft arm continues on and the foreward arm doubles
back (Angle wise.) and lengthens via the hydrolic arms...  unfortunately
what I know of math is as yet limited to intermediate algebra and some
solid geometry.
    I'm working on several Ideas for outboard fuel pods, and maybe a
revision of the main engine bell as well as front and rear O.M.S. kits.
I'm also attempting to design retractable G.P.S targeting dishes, if the
wont interfere with the main systems.
    Comments, Suggestions?
