I'm just waiting on a sale on PSN to get that one myself in the interim until I can get a decent computer put together. I heard it's not as good on a console but then again that's how it always is. Sometimes it's just a matter of not being able to access mods but I'd be happy with just the vanilla game. Can't wait to start building something.

I'd say you're missing out on a lot without the ability to use mods: the modding comunity is a big part of what makes it special.

You do need a decent PC to run it though: one of the fundamental limitation on the game is the ability to calculate positions and orbits over the kind of distances involved in real time.

Hello mods.  I've got one of these...
Northrop N-3 PB by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr
...with this much already completed...
Northrop N-3 WIP 20-12-17 by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr
...which to my mind is nothing really.  OK to include it in the GB?

You've been watching FAR too many TV competition programmes.

They didn't post any pre-build pics though, so I think we'll have to ban them.

Unless someone asks for the almost de riguer extension of course. <sigh>

Do you honestly expect to get away without one ? 

I factor in 2 weeks extension plus 2 weeks voting time into my timings when I try and "plan" the GB season. This is why the yearly GB season takes about 15 months or so

2 weeks to go to the "official" end lads

And if anyone wants an extension we'll need to know WHY you need it. Starting your build late in the period will not be an acceptable reason..................
