I really am coming back here only to pimp my images. Someone start up another post-padding thread so I can post in it without attaching a god darn image.
Edit: I've removed the images that were previously shown here, only because there's a much better way to see them than to seem them here.
Go to
http://www.spaceempires.net/home/gallery.html and click on the "scratchpad" album, at the very bottom, and check those babies out.
As always, remember to give Spaceempires.net and #spaceempires on Freenode a visit, host to rebob previews and more.
