I can't endorse them, since I've never had the chance to look at them!
My work on the EFSB consisted of writing the rules system and delivering
it
to CE as a one-off commissioned work. Some of the guys at CE then did
the
ship designs and added more stuff (like the player-character interaction
bits). The ship designs were done to reflect their capabilities in the
show, rather than to conform to a set design system. Sorry, but I can't
help you much on this one!
