I went for the Fiery Class despite my adoration of the Type S Scout. I really like wedge shaped ships.

FASA broke High Guard...

Too true...
I remember one of their designs which looked like a flying fork. Turrets were placed on the tips of the three "tines" and the crew would have to move through 6 or 7 staterooms to get to the turrets in question.
Not down a passageway past all those staterooms, mind you, but though all those staterooms and their associated hatches.

I believe that was the 600 dton Solomani Patrol Frigate.

Azhanti High Lightning!
The Azhanti High Lighting was the best! I was soooo jealous when a friend of mine got the supplement. It was the only ship, (particularly at the time,) that was anywhere near the size of the Enterprise, (starship or aircraft carrier...take your pick.)
And it was only one of a handful of ship designs that literally(!) turned deck plans on their head. Like the X-Boat and the Mercenary Cruiser, the Azanti High Lightning "layered" its decks from front to back, not from top to bottom. So when you were standing on a deck, and the ship moved forward, to your orientation, it was moving "up." Any G-forces from acceleration would push you vertically "down" into the deck, instead of horizontally "backwards" towards the rear of the ship.
That was such an awesome concept to this teenager, let me tell you! I had never seen anything like that on Star Trek!
Probably the best campaign I ever ran was having my friends take the roles of the captain and command crew of the Azhanti.

That's true. The alien modules had neat-looking ship drawings that inspired me.
Not on the list, my first choice would be the 300 dTon Explorer class scout from White Dwarf. 2nd choice would be the Serpent class scout. 3rd place would be the Leviathan, it just speaks to me somehow.
Back in the day my father saw the side view of Leviathan and said he thought it looked like Stalinist architecture.
Da Comrade! Long live mother Imperium! Given the feudalism of the Imperium setting, some grave rolling should be happening about now *grin*
Me too!
I wish I hadn't sold my copy...
Great book. IIRC, there was a nicely weird Vargr trader, a jump4/1gee 100dT courier, an interdiction sat, and a nifty Zho corvette that looked like a Trek Klingon cruiser without warp nacelles.
I've has two copies go walkies on me,Thank goodness for both Marc's compilation CDs and Convention Flea Markets.
Good choices all, love the Erin class but I'm wondering about a yacht with a few more legs both Jump and Manuever wise. I still have a soft spot for the Scout and the Fiery class Escort
j2m2 is pretty good. adding more engineering means a larger and more expensive ship, a bigger crew, etc, easily doubling the overall cost for each factor of improvement. pretty soon it stops being a yacht and starts being a business commitment that needs a business justification.
drew up a deckplan for a 600 dton j4m3 "executive transport" for use between lunion and strouden. not sure it could be called a yacht.
