Just to clarify, the deckplans are not mislabeled. They are the interior deckplans for the Griffon. The image should have probably been captioned to avoid confusion, since it was placed near the description of Topbird.

Topbird is described (and shown, on the area map) to essentially look like a small commercial jet, so we didn't feel it needed illustrated deckplans.

Oh, and thanks for posting the first review of the BSG Quickstart!

I'm actually quite interested in buying this when it is released, however I'm not going to pay for the quickstart rules and then pay again for the full book I'm afraid. So positive review or not I'm going to be waiting for the full release.

Hi. Apologies for taking so long to respond - real life intrudes.

I guess the problem is the way the grey bar with the Topbird on it appears connected to the deckplans, so it can be misleading on first look (as my mistake proved), but now I look at it again with your comment in mind I see what you mean.

Apologies for misleading folks.


Shane
