==Description==
'''''Technical Readout: 3057''''' differs from the primary line of technical readouts in that its focus was on [[BattleSpace]] units, such as [[DropShip]]s, [[JumpShip]]s, [[WarShip]]s, [[Small Craft]], [[Aerospace Fighter]]s, [[OmniFighter]]s, 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 [[hardpoint]]s). Note that this technically does not constitute a removal of the quote from [[Canon]].

The book, purporting to be an [[Explorer Corps]] document from [[3057]] by one ''Dai-i'' [[Otanashi Haruka]], was reissued in 2004 as ''[[Technical Readout: 3057 Revised]]'', a purported workover from [[Wolfnet]] in [[3067]] with an introduction by [[Margaret Tulliver]] stating that the 3057 edition, as well as [[ComStar]]'s earlier [[DropShips and JumpShips|FB60 Intelligence Summary]], contained numerous errors.<br />In fact, construction rule changes had required many tweakings or even substantial changes to various units' stats, such as increasing the official mass of the ''[[Union]]'' by 100 tons.

==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.
* Another unique feature of this TRO is that it contains only ''[[BattleSpace]]'' statistics for the [[Aerospace Fighter|fighters]] presented rather than full TRO-style entries. New artwork for a handful of fighters appears but the images are not assigned to specific fighters. These images presumably represented the fighters introduced in ''[[AeroTech#Notes|AeroTech]]'' that were not given artwork at the time. 
* The WarShip prominently shown on the cover, is a ''[[Leviathan (Heavy Transport)|Leviathan]]''-class Dreadnought, a ship class that was not actually described within the book. It was first described in ''[[Technical Readout: 3067]]''. As of 3057, only two such ships were under construction, the ''[[Leviathan (Leviathan)]]'' and the ''[[Great Bear]]''. A photo of a miniature of the latter in ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition]]'' showcasing its [[canon]]ical paint scheme depicts the Ghost Bear logo on a red field. Since such a red field is absent on the vessel depicted on the book's cover, it is presumably the ''Leviathan''.

The German edition called '''Hardware-Handbuch 3057''' was released by [[Fantasy Productions]] in 1992 and received just minor changes (see below). The German version is printed as DIN A4, a standard European paper size, which is a little larger then north american [[w:Paper size|Letter]]. 

===From the german back cover===
The German back cover matches the original in text and design.

{{quote|''Hardware-Handbuch 3057''<br />
''Im Jahr 3049 erschienen zum ersten Mal die Clans in der Inneren Sphäre. Ausgestattet mit der hochentwickelten Technik eines längst vergangenen Zeitalters, entfesselten die kriegslüsternen Invasoren einen vernichtenden Blitzkrieg, in dem sie eine Welt nach der anderen eroberten, bis ein Sieg der Angreifer unvermeidlich schien. Nachdem sie den überlegenen Mechs ihrer Gegner nichts entgegenzusetzen hatten, richteten die Streitkräfte der Inneren Sphäre ihren Blick hilfesuchend auf ihre Raumkampfflotten, doch alles, was sie dabei zu Gesicht bekamen, waren die tödlichen LandungsSchiffe, SprungSchiffe, und insbesondere die KampfSchiffe der Clans - riesige Raumfahrzeuge, die seit hunderten von Jahren nicht mehr in der Inneren Sphäre erblickt worden waren. Die großen Häuser haben nun damit begonnen, ihre eigenen Flotten auszubauen, und stehen bereit, die Clan-Invasoren auf dem unendlichen Schlachtfeld des Weltraums herauszufordern.''<br />

''Das Hardware Handbuch 3057 enthält Beschreibungen, Illustrationen und die vollständigen BattleSpace-Spieldaten für die neuesten LandungsSchiffe, SprungSchiffe, KampfSchiffe, Beiboote, Raumjäger, OmniJäger und konventionellen Flugzeuge der Inneren Sphäre und der Clans.''}}

=== Alterations ===
The German edition received notable changes only in the books last section ''BattleSpace Clarifications''. Here, the original ''Technical Readout 3057'' lists a string of rule clarifications, blank record sheets, tables, diagramms for BattleSpace and a sketch of different space vessels for purpose of size comparison. In German edition this section is renamed ''Grössenvergleich'' (''Site Comparison'') and consequently contains just the two pages of sketch, all other content is left out.

===Spelling and Names===
As with other German products prior to 1997 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 [[Gotterdammerung]] was respelled to ''Götterdämmerung'', the ''[[DCMS]]'' (''Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery'') became ''VSDK'' (''Vereinigte Streitkräfte des Draconis Kombinats'') and so on.
