Does the art in DnJ differ from 3057? I know the warships from 2750 differ from 3057, but I was wondering whether the art for other spacecraft changed.
Or even if it didn't change, are they from different perspectives?
The bearing this has on me is threefold:
1. I like spacecraft  Especially Hard Sci-Fi ones that make sense, which, at least fluff- and rule-wise, BT's do.
2. I'm gradually working on translating BT ships to 3D, and I usually prefer the earlier (non-3057) art.
3. I'm also making low-poly versions for Battletech: Space Wars, a mod for the game Homeworld.

The artist was different, and the views were different, but all the spacecraft in DnJ were immediately recognizable in TR:3057. I really rather liked the new dropship and jumpship artwork - sharper, better renderings. This made the sea change in warship artwork very, very disappointing.

Thanks, that's a $50 purchase that is no longer so heart-breakingly necessary!
And, yes, I find the new warships are...stale, both from an art and a physics standpoint.

The old warships at least (usually) hinted they were built around a long, thin drive core. They were often cylindrical.
I'd recommend DnJ anyway. As I recall, it has fluff unmatched in later works.

Thank you! 
I greatly appreciate your digging around, and though saddened that there's not, it seems, that much in DnJ that's not in BS and '57, I'm very relieved all the same...addiction is expensive.
