Actually they did go up on TMP a couple of weeks back, on one of our
earlier preview postings - I haven't got the URL to hand, but if you
look for our posts in the TMP news archive you should find it. There
are two ship pics in the post, a single ScanFed battleship and one of
two ships (cruiser and destroyer) which are the "mystery" ones in
question.
