Only that they copied his art style is all.
Not sure that was the case... I think it was just the 'in thing' at the time in the UK in the 80s.

The ship from 2:18 to 2:30 in the video reminds me of the 400t Subsidized Merchant at the stern - mixed with a bit of the 400t Patrol Cruiser on the 'wings'![]()

IIRC it would've been one of those 3rd party settings made under the MgT 1e rules or something.
EDIT: Now I'm pissed. We could've gotten a Cepheus Engine conversion if this kickstarter had funded it!
