Mongoose is apparently going to publish a "War Fleets of the FFW" book soon.
I have mixed feelings about it, among other things because it apparently discards all the previous designs (from PP:F).
Well Mongooses FFW is rewriting history anyway, so why stop here?
Good point, but maybe this discussion could be split off to a different topic?
Terriffic attention to detail. Thank you.
STELLAR-CLASS SUBSIDIZED LINER
Subsidized liners are typically commissioned by large trading corporations or transport corporations. Such companies squeeze the last credit from their operations, and they have the financial clout to convince local governments to provide an initial subsidy for the production of the ship. Subsidized liners usually serve an established trade route, often specified by the subsidy provider in order to enhance or increase trade with certain systems which would otherwise be ignored by the larger trade corporations.
After many years of service, the repair and upkeep costs of a subsidized liner can make it no longer profitable to operate on its established route. At such a point, the ship is either scrapped or sold as surplus. A subsidized liner released from its route becomes a free liner, identical in characteristics, but probably less reliable mechanically.

I have assigned a new position two month ago. I have to slow down making spaceships because of a lot of business trips.

Your artwork is worth waiting for! Best of luck with your new position!
STELLAR CLASS SUBSIDIZED LINERS
Many shipyards produce subsidized liners. Large corporations often build their own in their own shipyards. Subsidy providers often specify that construction take place in a shipyard on their own world.

This is the last shot of subsidized liner.

I think you do a great job. Not just with the ship itself, but the details around it that, for me, make the picture great.
The Yellow lined off area for cargo staging for example. It 'feels" right to me having worked for a few years out at LAXs cargo field. Nice work.
I was thinking about where my next ship would belong. After much deliberation, I decided to set the affiliation of my next ship to a university. For this purpose, I created one university.
IMPERIAL GLISTEN UNIVERSITY
The Imperial Glisten University (IGU) was founded by the Third Imperium in 952, which performs cutting-edge research into gravitics, electronics and manufacturing as well as training graduates. The IGU is Glisten's premier university but overshadowing the Glisten Institute of Planetological Studies (GLIPS).
The IGU consists of 20 faculties, 31 graduate schools, and 19 affiliated research institutes. It has a total of 90,000 undergraduate students and 50,000 graduate students. The majority of the university's educational and research facilities are concentrated within the Glisten city campus. Additionally, IGU operates several smaller campuses in the Glisten subsector.
It is said the "The IGU graduates can expect a good, well-paid career working in firms owned by the families of IGU attendees".

I eagerly await your interpretation of the University Football Team Party Bus!
Rats!Sorry, the next ship is not a party bus
Expression of dismay and disappointment. Nicer more polite company way of saying damn or stronger curse words.
Rolling for liaison success….
