Well guys, since it looks like PCS Mk 2, aka "Francis" has run its course, I'd say it's time to once again begin anew. As with the first PCS, anyone is now free to grab, modify and post their own copies of Francis or whatever, in whatever way they want. All that's asked is you credit the Pseudo-Chainship Project.
As an example, I grabbed one of the older versions, messed around, and made this:
Anyway, moving on from that, he's the starting phase of the next Pseudo-Chainship, which for the time being will be called "Sulis".

For those who've missed them, I'll repost the rules that people must follow here:
1) You can only add between 4 and 8 sections on your turn, then you post what you have and let someone else add their own 4 -> 8 sections. I know it will be asked, so yes, you can add eight sections to one side and then mirror it.
2) After posting your own update, you must wait for two more people to make their own additions before making any more.
3) If you remove any sections added by someone else, they count as sections you used. If you remove eight sections, you can't add any. If you remove five, you can add three. And so on. This is to discourage people from erasing other people's work while still allowing for it.
- 3a) Moving sections added by someone else also counts towards your section-use total.
4) Colours can be changed whenever, as they're simple enough to change back, but I'd prefer that during building, people stick to shades of grey.
5) All ships should be posted with a picture.
6) All ships should be packaged with the sprites used in it. These is REALLY EASY. Click "Tools", Click "Export Custom Sprites". The sprites will be dumped in a folder. Take that folder, move it out of your main BSF folder. Rename it as "Custom sprites". Package it in your zip with Sulis ###.sb4 and then I won't be compelled to snap your neck.
7) After stating you will add the next lot of sections to the Pseudo-Chainship, you have a maximum of two hours to do so, which is more time than it should ever take to add 4-8 sections to a ship. If you exceed this time-limit, you forfeit your claim and someone else may take a shot at it.
That's it! Simple enough, right? Grab the .sb4, slap on four to eight sections, then pass it on. Please remember that this is a community project, so try to make your additions mesh with the work done by those before you. Other than that, this is mostly about having fun.
