But, I suspect the script on shuttle Galileo was handpainted by some sign painter rather than being a commercial font. It looks rather simpler and noninform (screencap of side of shuttle from "The Galileo 7"). Of course, if shuttle names were handpainted, I wouldn't worry too much about matching the font exactly anyway!
Yeah, 'Freestyle' is what I've been using too, it works well enough I suppose but it would be nice to have something closer to the original. Perhaps this can be a challenge to our Font makers? I know there are a few of them on this board. What say you chaps, think you can reproduce the old Galileo/Copernicus typeface?
As for 'Swing' I suspect that this (or something similar) is the font that was used on the Delta Flyer so it'd be nice to have it in that respect.

A couple of those would certainly fit aboard a refitted Constitution, but the bigger courier craft (or any 13.8 m long variant) would have trouble with the elevators. OTOH, any craft smaller than 13.8 m would be unlikely to seat 2+6 (height-wise if the shape is constant, that is).

13.8m, it is too large and an elevator is not fitted so that you may say. I made the size of the shuttle smaller.

Great work on the shuttle. Look forward to the plans for the VIP lounge, which is what we should've seen as the Obs. lounge in Trek V.

That's fantastic work. I've never thought of this possibility, but it would be a great idea to present PDF supplements to the Fact Files (only that there might be a problem with the publishers even if they are named Fake Files).
