Thank you all very much for your feedback! It really means a lot hearing from you folks. :o) I must acknowledge Django for prompting this concept of a planetary gun emplacement. Years ago an armada of 3DDJ's starships descended on an undefended Dystopia. It wasn't an invasion exactly... they just kinda moved in. Since then, I decided that this should not be the case. :oP While I did design the whole damn thing, I must give credit to my inspirations "Cannon Fodder" by director Katsuhiro omo from the collection "Memories" is perhaps my strongest influence for this piece. While not quite as complex as his "Steam City" from Steamboy, I did gain a lot from the whole steam-punk experience. I'll try and post a short animation of this Dystopian Planetary Gun when I am done. Cheers! M
