I was just wondering is all. Would have been cool to see the official Regency
versions of the book 9 heavies.
Trust me Dave if I ever win the Lotto I will hire you to do a few projects for
me,lol

I was partway through it, TL 15 versions of the common merchant ships,
Fer-de-Lance and Chrysanthemum DEs. I had gotten far enough on the DEs to
recognize that there would be logical sub-classes based on battery
organization and MFDs, and at least partly designed them. I think I would
have included the Kinunirs (updated and refitted for Regency service) and
certainly the 3000-ton Destroyer, maybe the old P.F. Sloan. I had not
finished the list of ships it would include. I think I hoped to maybe get
up as high as some of the old Book 9 ships, or at least the ones that were
in Battle Rider. New turret "cans" as well.
The original plan was for me to finish writing RSG, but then we had no one
left to get RCVG out the door, so instead of finishing design on RSG, I
finished development/editing/typesetting of RCVG. I took RSG with me to
Kentucky with the initial idea that it could be finished, but that idea
got abandoned early on.
What do you mean by "light of day?" Published officially by someone? That
doesn't seem realistic. There was nothing remotely camera ready. I'd have
to dig it out, finish it up, write it up, it would have to be typeset, and
that would be no small effort. And no one is supporting the TNE rules
anyway.
