Yes I was, and am a nerd who does Sci-fi rpg's. :wub:
So, A WW1 SMS Dresden as a base model (1/350) IIRC changed to a 1/72nd flying patrol cutter manned with Red Box "Boxer Revolution" Imperial German Kolonial  :mellow:  and Marine infantry.
Main armarment fiddled with to represent smaller quick firing guns.
Lift wood bulges and shutters on the hull.
Heliograph signalling station and open bridge.

You are obviously a man of discernment,  fully  aware of "The Transactions of the Royal Martian Geographical Society" : http://www.heliograph.com/trmgs/trmgs1/  for those not yet acquainted with this organisation.   

There is a great deal of time can be wasted reading through this website.

I remember trying to play the computer game, and was throughly confused.  As for the TTRPG version, never could find a local group to play with (same with Traveller).  And, at the time, I was invested in the late TSR's 2ed. Dungeons & Dragons.

I've never been a board games player, but I like the Space: 1889 designs. Here are some paper models by Squirmydad

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
