Great part! I like how you take care of some of the Impact Crater stuff so early.

I like to introduce the Impact Crater so that it's always in the back of people's minds. Also, it's an excuse to get the Missile Expansion behind the ship.

Good thinking there. Hey, just out of curiosity, how many parts do you think each of your current LP's will be? Since you're posting the same part numbers for each one each day, I just think it would be cool if they somehow ended up being the same length and ending on the same day lol.

I really don't know. My rough estimate is 100-110 parts for Galaxy and 70-80 parts for Prime, but I've recorded only about a week in advance, so it's still pretty early in each game. I don't think I'll finish them at the same time because Galaxy is a longer game than Prime, but I have a game next in line for each one when I finish it. After the next two, I plan to do a game that's very long and will seem very slow unless I'm posting two parts per day of that game.

Ah, ok. Sounds awesome!
