You could type it in a word processor, then copypasta it in place, but it won't fix grammar. Also, I didn't finish college.

At your service. Reading that, I realized something else as well, with that design of habitation pod, if you were spinning the pods and accelerating at the same time, instead of gravity appearing to shift to the side of a cabin, such as in a fixed pod design, the pod would just tip toward the engine depending on how hard you accelerate. Gravity would always appear down inside the cabin. That way the system doesn't have to close up, except under acceleration the pylons can't handle.

I'll incorporate all of your suggestions into the next Imperial ship as they are all extremely well thought out, as usual. I'm going to stick with the carrier idea, partially as an homage to the container ship that carried Harriers in the Falkland War (Atlantic Conveyor I think was the name). but primarily because it's almost done.

And again, thank you for taking the time to read these and come up with your very valid comments and critiques. It really does help with the creative process and makes me see things from other perspectives.
Thank you very much for the compliments, I enjoy reading your work about as much as I do looking at it, which is very much indeed. I take the time to point out anything I think could use improvement because I want the things I like to be as good as they can be. But, more selfishly, also because I like certain things certain ways or want to see certain things I haven't seen before.
