USB Annihilation
One day WalTor came to SCUL, back when it the Fort was nothing but a disorganized mess in half a basement and a garage, bringing a curvy orange sparkly cruiser hull. Skunk fell in love and WalTor gave it to him. Skunk had bought another ship just for the cruiser tank, and sapped it over to this new orange hull.
The original fork for this ship was donated by Crusty - he said "this fork's messed up but it should bother you anyway". It turned out that it was messed up in the best way - this ship had just the right rake a trail to make it really carve through space. However the fork didn't last and a new one needed to me made - with the exact same specs, except a few inches longer, just because.
The ears on the forks were a bit of a fun romp - the steel that needed to be coped to the fork legs needed to be a certain length in order to fit in the jig. Skunk indented to cut them short but decided it was more interesting the way it was.
In the sophomoric days of SCUL we loved to ride choppers down the stairs: it was scary, but choppers feel like civi ships when you point them down like that. Bouncy civi ships, anyway. Of course no one like to pick their teeth up with broken fingers, so we stopped taking chances before anyone had to. But USB Annihilation was really good at it.
