==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Technical Readout: 3067''''' (''TRO:3067'') is set at the end of [[FedCom Civil War]] [[BattleTech eras|era]]. The title, purporting to be a [[ComStar]] study, presents the latest [[combat vehicle|vehicle]], [[BattleMech|'Mech]], [[aerospace fighter]], [[DropShip]], and [[WarShip]] designs from [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Clan]] provenience.
+
This title combines previously released material (from the Field Manual series) with first-time published articles on [[BattleMech]]s, [[combat vehicle]]s, [[Aerospace Fighter]]s, [[OmniFighter]]s, [[DropShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s, all set on the eve of the [[Jihad]].
 
 
It was the first original ''Technical Readout'' that [[FanPro]] put out for the [[Classic BattleTech]] line. ''TRO:3067'' was reprinted in 2012 under the [[Catalyst Game Labs]] emblem, with new cover art. As well as ''TRO:3060'' and unlike older [[FASA]]-era Technical Readouts, ''TRO:3067'' did not receive the Catalyst Upgrade treatment, however.  Other than the new cover art only known errata were corrected. Accompanying the rerelease was a new, PDF-only [[Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged|PDF Record Sheet]] book.

''Classic BattleTech ''Technical Readout: 3067'' provides descriptions, game statistics and illustrations for new [[BattleMech]] and vehicle designs. It finally unveils the next generation of Inner Sphere aerospace fighters and [[OmniFighter]]s, as well as the Clan's second-line fighters. A handful of new [[DropShip]]s are also premiered. This technical readout includes those designs previously published in the Field Manual: series.''}}

Published by [[FanPro]] '''Hardware Handbuch 3067''' is the German edition of ''Technical Readout: 3067'' (''TRO:3067''). Unlike most early German TRO editions, this one almost matches the original edition.<ref>Such a small deviation is the Index which is in contrast to original edition listed in Table of Contents and called ''Index/Stichwortverzeichnis''</ref> The German version is printed as DIN A4, a standard European paper size, which is a little larger then North American [[w:Paper size|Letter]].
 
 
 
====Spelling and Names====
 
As with other German products spelling and names (especially places and units) as well as most abbreviations were regularly adjusted. For instance the 'Mech unit ''[[Archer]]'' was renamed to ''Schütze'', the planet [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Gotterdammerung]] was respelled to ''Götterdämmerung'', the ''[[DCMS]]'' (''Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery'') became ''VSDK'' (''Vereinigte Streitkräfte des Draconis Kombinats'') and so on.
