I thought it had been discontinued ?

Also when I go to the ETNK website, I get a 404.

Is it fully working and downloadable somewhere ?

CJ Pinder has a new site up, I found it once, though there wasn't much on it at the time. Supposedly he got things settled with the David and is planning a new version of TNK.

Elite Starship Blueprints

Post by rabidvixen »

I noticed that somebody mentioned my name (Jannah Berihn) in relation to the Jonathan Bluestone name, and that I had produced a series of blueprints of the original Elite ships. Well, the good news is that they are still available ... but it might be a week or two before a few of them are finished as I had to re-work a few of the plans due to data corruption when they were stored as JPEGs (the majority of them were in GIF format). However, if anyone is interested, they can contact me at [email protected] and I'll respond. I'm also willing to permit their use as 'freeware' as long as I get mentioned as their originator. You may also be interested to know that a set of super-detailed Cobra MK III blueprints also exist which show both the exterior and interior of the ship in living color, with and without the landing gear deployed and with all features (as mentioned in the original BBC Space Traders guide shown. I'm also willing to update my own blueprints to show critical battle damage if anyone wants me to!
Berihn Shipping: We get it there ... eventually.
