All quiet on the list... Just thought I'd do the monthly overview of Star

Wait... did that say blueprints for the Steamrunner and Saber class starships? Does that mean deckplans, a cross section, or just a picture of the ship, where they point out the warp nacelles and the bridge?

[Cochrane]

What they do is gatefolds of the exterior of the ship from front, back, etc with a few labels.

[odoital]

Yeah basically it is an outline of the ship... from multiple points of view (dorsal, ventral, front, back and side). A couple of areas labeled. Pretty simple.
