Description
Technical Readout: 3057 differs from the primary line of technical readouts in that its focus was on BattleSpace units, such as DropShips, JumpShips, WarShips, Small Craft, ASFs, OmniFighters, and conventional aircraft. Additional rule clarifications and record sheets for BattleSpace were included.
The third print run was marked as "Corrected 3rd Printing" and included a change to the fluff for the Tramp-class JumpShip (omitting the alleged sighting of Clan-owned vessels with 4 docking hardpoints).
The book was reissued in 2004 as Technical Readout: 3057 Revised.

Notes
- Technical Readout: 3057 is an unusual TRO in that it carries no land units. Further it changed the artwork from the earlier Technical Readout: 2750, which did not go over well with some fans. However, it did well enough in sales to allow for the creation of JumpShip and WarShip miniatures.
- The WarShip prominently shown on the cover and again inside the book is a Leviathan-class Dreadnought, a ship class that is not actually described within the book. It was first described in Technical Readout: 3067.
