It will be interesting to see how they handle the Invasion sourcebook.

Good point - and good quote (I did do a quick search to find something but missed that one). Also (getting my excuses in early) my recollection is mainly from the GDW version where some of the tanks did have tethered drones for scouting purposes but nothing like today's (2025) FPV war fighting.

I would agree, but I suspect we have a problem in that we now all know how the war in Ukraine is being fought and that is very different to the set up of 2300AD. The authors didn't know that and in any case have deliberately down played drones/robots (even Starship combat requires a human remote...

There was also a write up of the EdI, the part of the MSIF that deals with interface operations. Again based on GDW 2300AD.

I wrote up an article on this sort of thing back in the day as the The First Interstellar War which was based on the GDW 2300AD and the fan produced ships (see above).

I agree with the above. I downloaded the pdf yesterday and skimmed through - thought nice colony maps a different take on the usual plan but just as informative and excellent atmosphere. Got to the equipment section and as my teenage son might text OMG WTF! Please tell us these are place...

Have you seen the Tirane Sourcebook site (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~dheb/Tirane/tirane.htm)? I think you'll find pretty much all you need there.

Is there any possibility of including colour versions of some of the illustrations (deck plans and renders for example) in the pdf version? I suspect I know the answer but if you don't ask you don't get. Jonathan

Great news - much better cover, Laurent Esmiol artwork, and Colin's words. I'm really looking forward to this. Jonathan

Like this http://www.shapeways.com/model/188731/scout__landed__no_base_.html?gid=mg you mean? Jonathan

I'm definitely with Will on this And, at the risk of repeating myself, can I put in a plea to include Laurent Esmiol's work http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~dheb/2300/Admin/Index7.htm - the more the merrier. Jonathan

Excellent news - looking forward to it (don't forget to sign on Laurent for the ship illustrations!)

Colin asked My short answer : both My longer answer : My feel is that the basis of 2300AD was that, with the exception of space technology, the way in which people lived in 2300AD was pretty much the way they lived in the late 1980s. None of the other developments (eg DNAM, nano tech etc)...

45 and Golden Age I bought the Little Black Books in the Little Black Box - just checked the shelf upstairs and they're still there.

They are? I'm fairly sure they have one already and the delay was a scheduling problem.
