Remember those Conjectural FC designs that Chris Gough had made up in MSPaint, the ones where the Norway looked the same as Akira, sans Rollbar, and the Starfleet-looking Sabre? Then there were revisions, but they still were similar. Does anyone have these images still? I'd be interested in seeing them again.

Huh. I actually really like that profile on the Sabre-class starship. It looks really cool -- really sleek and fast.

Well, in case you're wondering why the Norway is so wrong, it's a simple case of mis-identification: Goffy thought the Akira that pops up over the E-E and fires the volley of torpedoes was a Norway seen from below, leading him to mis-judge the angle of the nacelles (apart form the all the other, quite understandable, cosmetic differences).

As I recall there were two versions: The Blue wireframe on black initial attempts, and then the more fleshed out versions like the Akira and Sabre here.
So, does *anyone* have either of the full, authentic, Goffytastic versions? Someone must have.

I'm not at home right now, but I will be tonight. And I'm sure I have all of the blue-on-black-background wireframe pics stored somewhere. I'll look them up and post them ASAP.

Wasn't there a fifth diagram? I think it was labelled "Hawking class", or something? I forget which ship it was actually a confusion for...

There were 6 classes. Hawking was similar to the Steamrunner, and then we also had a Defiant-like ship, that I guess was confused with the Saber.
