RE: Painting Omegas for use

There is also a very thin blue line topside running forward from the
stripe on the forward hull to (I believe as my picture doesn't show that
part) the pulse cannon. Also the underside of the bridge is blue and the
name of the ship in blue is on the upper tower just above the EAS symbol
and registration number in smaller blue numbers below the symbol.

I haven't seen the Security book so I can't comment on the Hyperion
picture but the rear views in Severed Dreams and Voice in the Wilderness
II show the central nozzle is maybe at the most 5% out of line with the
others,in effect it is so little out of line that it is inline.
