Great idea. I suppose none of us are truly ever "done" to be able to post a complete list of achievements, but a 'greatest hits vol 1' is a terrific idea for signature content.

I realized I was having trouble keeping track of the stuff I've done (I was making Dietrich's Medkit??), so I thought I would try to bring some order to the chaos. Honestly it was your ultimate EU thread that inspired me Terran.

Cool, so now I wont feel bad about blatantly stealing your idea when I finish my latest rounds of projects! :wink:

Please do! I am in awe of PVB's ability to find stuff with the search function, but for the rest of us a cheat sheet can really come in handy.

PVB don't use the search function every thread is stored in his head

Too bad there isn't a thread like this that has each piece of kit organized under a different heading, with all of the relevant threads under said headings. Course, that would take a lot of work lol.

With the exception of the massive Dropship helmet build and the Service C thread (both in the archive), there aren't any definitive threads on how to construct specific things. There are certainly lots of great threads out there though, and you could make a roundup of what you've found most useful in your journey. I wish I'd done that from the start, but I didn't realize how quickly threads get "lost".

Yeah, that's just it. Recent threads I read are now like 3 or 4 pages back!
