Need I remind you you how fast GTVA R&D is?  Plus this thing is about two kilometers across....still smaller than a destroyer.  And the GTVA has well over a hundred destroyers.  7 years is reasonable IMO.

In fact, I purposely designed it to be a 'lead up' to the Charon portal in general looks.  Plus I did in yesterday afternoon in an hour or so...

You could have some neat defense missions defending a smaller Knossos from attack during an evacuation, methinks.

I could see the GTVI fielding some of these in ummm... unique locations...

Like some crazy old guy said: "Why have one when you can have two for twice the price!"

How'd you do the background? Glitterato?

It reminds me of IW2 backgrounds..great stuff that.

Completely off topic, but since IW2 was mentioned: does space in IW2 seem too... bright to anyone? It doesn't feel like the cold and inky black. It feels more like flying in endless evening sky.
