I don't know, Bryan. I would consider your work (alongside Rob Caswell) to be iconic. That said Laurent has defined 2300's vessels & vehicles beautifully since it's demise. His work with Brynn at Etranger is amazing.
Yes, Laurent's work on Etranger is precisely why I asked him to work on 2320AD. I, too, consider his style to be definitive for 2300/2320. As for Traveller, yes, in my mind Bryan's and Rob's work is likewise defiinitive.
That hasn't been completely decided as of yet. I should know more soon. In any case, once we start doing ship books, I would like to keep Laurent very busy...
