==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.

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.
  
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.

This technical readout includes those designs previously published in the Field Manual: series.''}}

===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.
