It’s not very often we see non-“action” ships. I’ll be interested to see how
you play them (ship logs, maybe?).

It wasn’t really my idea per se - it kinda came out of the storyline with Dan,
and it seemed only sensible that the Commonwealth might commandeer some of these
type of vessels to go help the folks in Arbor. I don’t know that I’ll be
setting up a regular tourist line around the galaxy. Seems to me that playing
that might compete with noughts and crosses (tic tac toe) for the ‘Most boring
game in the universe’. Dunno, YMMV.

My only question is, where are all the windows? For a cruise liner, there
are a puny number of portholes! Oh, unless the scale is too small to
represent windows...

Mmmm. Scale for port holes is a problem, so I followed the microfig tradition
of showing windows as different coloured plates. The white plates you see
peeking out from between the grey, or red, in the case of the tenders, represent
banks (?, what is the collective noun for windows anyway?) of windows. I guess
I’m suggesting that by the time we can build ships like these, we won’t need to
use sturdy port holes, but will be able to have great bay windows onto space
:-)
