This issue includes a clean, redrawn version of the classic Assault Scout deck plans as well as an initial look at variations on that ship, and a solo adventure that uses those deck plans.

There is also a short story by another new fiction author, that takes place in a new setting.

Issue 2 of the Frontier Explorer magazine is now available. This issue is once again filled with system briefs, new ships, locations, creatures, and background material for use by GM's in their games. This issue also includes several contributions from community members, a milestone we hadn't expected to reach for a couple more issues. Needless to say we're excited.

Continuing with the 30th Anniversary of Star Frontiers theme, this issue delves into the archives and contains a summary of some Star Frontiers gaming conventions held back in 1999 that included interviews with some of the game's original developers. These interviews provide insight to some of the philosophies that went into the design of the game.
