Got links to any pictures?
I didn't, but I found some.
It's the old Stellardate:2998/Space Squadron line from Grenadier.

So anyhoo, these ships look pretty cool. Not the cleanest production quality, mind you, but the are starships anyway.

Therefore, I've been thinking about statting them for Traveller. That way I might be able to use them with my RAFM Traveller minis. The scale's a little bit off, maybe, but ah well.
At any rate, I don't want to go over 2,400 tons, even though some of these ships are probably supposed to be huge.
ss01: Behemoth-class battleship
This is a large ship, and has huge engines. I'll say it's a 2,000 ton "frigate" or something.
ss02: Hurricane-class cruiser
This one is the cool-looking, with a huge bridge-like area, two arms that must terminate in big nasty guns, and significant engines. 1,800 tons, perhaps.
ss03: Mace-class scout
This little guy is an unstreamlined scout ship, maybe Jump-3 or 4.
ss03c: Stiletto-class fighter
A heavy, fast-looking fighter. Might be very heavy... 80 tons, perhaps.
ss06: Trident-class fighter
This is more like a small escort, the size of a Gazelle, than a fighter.
ss07: Dragon-class battleship
About the same volume as the Behemoth. 2,000 tons.
ss08: Cobra-class cruiser
Nice big engines. I'll give it 1,000 tons.
ss09: Attack carrier
Looks like one of the cooler ships, and large too. I'll say 2,000 tons.
ss10: Battle-class fighter
TIE fighters. 40 tons, perhaps.
ss11: Repair tender
The platform is big enough to handle large ships. At least 1,000 tons.
ss11: Mine layer
Doesn't look like a mine layer to me, although those pods have to be something. 1,600 tons.
ss12: Tanker (poor image of these)
These look pretty large, so I'll say they're 2,400 tons.

Those Grenadier ships do tend to get pricy.

I have one of their old catalogs (circa 1980?) sitting around somewhere that shows a bunch of those ships. If I can find it, maybe I'll scan it.
I would very much appreciate that. Thank you.
