thank you :)
 
> How many different types of greeble are used?

well, every "greeble-cell" has up to 5 cylindrical components 
(superellipsoids), up to 5 box-like components (triangle mesh), up to 5 
horizontal tubes (also a mesh) and up to 5 vertical tubes (cylinders and 
spheres).

that makes 4 types of greeble :)

Really, really nice work.  I hope you don't mind if the community steals--  
er, learns from... your techniques!

Best space ship type greebls I've seen.  Nice.

They both look awesome! What is the CPU speed and amount of RAM for those
