...would it be possible have a picture of the "12 ship counters, 7 plastic markers"?
i have received a shuffled lot of star probe and star empires and i am not able to recognize which couters belong to one and to the other...

I have two copies of Star Empires and both have the same thing--a die-cut counter sheet with 1/2 square white counters. My Star Probe has this:
Two of the ship counters are hand-drawn, making ten printed, and a yellow marker appears to be missing, but I'm not clear on either. I'm sure there are others here who can clear-up the counts for you.
Please note that both games were vended with counters/map and as booklet only. _________________ "This is cool."

I'll post a scan of an uncut ship sheet. I currently have 3 copies of Star Probe and 2 more with Star Empires. I've sold 2 more copies of SP and 1 SE but have not seen the plastic disks before. They remind me of disks that came with Avalon Hill games like Rail Baron.
