White/grey/black/orange... That sounds more like a big cat than a Crusty

(to me, anyway). With that sort of paint scheme, I'd be expecting Aslan 
or their relatives, or even a lone DN named the /Hobbes/ with an 
accompanying small, speedy scout painted bright red and named the 
/Calvin/ <eg>. Still,, I like the new ships and will definitely be 
getting some in the New Year. I'll miss the Christmas deal, but I can 
cope. Regardless, kudos to Jon for coming out with the new ships -- yet 
another example of his determination to promote economic recovery 
through gaming.
