Director's Commentary If you've been reading this after playing the Spaceman: Prelude game, then you may be confused as to why there are so many of the same craft, when it appears that each character has their own unique ship. I can't really answer that, but the quick excuse is that Simon has a slightly modified version of the basic transport pod ship that new recruits are trained on. Seeing as he's never progressed on to anything more advanced, he's had to make a few adjustments to it in order to keep up, such as the senile satnav, and the weaponry...that....features in the game but...not..so much in the comic...just..yet. Good. Even I believe that a little. I bet this is how George Lucas got started on the revisionist stuff.
