I got Irregular to send me assorted old and new ships a couple of weeks
ago-
they included what I assume is the same ship Adam bought, an "Imperial
Cruiser" a bit like an Ambassador class but not so pot-bellied.  Also,
an
older vessel (I _think_ the Human Destroyer SH3) is like a stumpy Star
Destroyer about 30mm long.  Another new vessel is a carrier for £2,
consisting of a flightdeck with island, a boxy main hull with a bulblike
forward projection, and a pylon with 2 pods or nacelles resembling those
on
the "Trekkie" cruiser.	 There's also a fleet of "Klingonesque" vessels-
my
sample is a cruiser for 90p, resembling the original Klingon BCs but
with
forward-swept "wings" so that it fits very well (with my prehistoric
Garrison starcruisers) into my Scottish space-fleet.  The new vessels
are
notably neater than the old.
