Hi, Evyn.

No, that's the grav carrier. We didn't have any of those at GDW either.

There's the old Grav APC. They call it the Plasma Tank, and the hull is
out of one-piece resin. That hull used to be three pieces of lead or
"white metal" or whatever. See the seam around the sloped plate that runs
all the way around? The hull roof lifted off, and it had seats inside, all
kinds of tremendous detail and controls in there. Obviously too expensive
to keep doing in metal.

Man, those are gorgeous! However, I went to the Ad Astra site and saw no
evidence of them ever being produced, and lots of 2007 dates. Also mention
of 2300, but couldn't find anything. Another good thing that never quite
got born? I would love to have a little Arrival Vengeance to sit on my
desk. The Plankwell is too big, I'd rather have that SEH class cruiser.

Remember, I've been out of circulation for a while, so "certain former
Traveller Licensee's Gothic "Space" game" doesn't necessarily jangle any
bells... I'm thinking, "what, FASA? Warhammer 40K? Space: 1889?" And I
know none of those are correct.
