The first Aerial Adventure guide is pretty good, the second one okay, and
the third was so-so.  I wanted more ships and deckplans, so here's hoping
this compiled version (which has additional material) has more ships.
Looks like they've made some improvements.

Aether and Flux by Darkfuries publishing is okay.  It has some interesting
materials in it, and at least some SJ-looking ships, but it doesn't have
that "wow" factor.  They're supposedly doing a conversion of some SJ ships
using their system, but I don't think they've posted it yet.

There's another third party SJ-like product called Spacebuckler.  It looks
more like historical swashbuckling meets space.  I think they've had some
delays, though.  Here's their site:

And, of course, there's Airships, by Bastion Press.  This is my personal
favorite 3rd party SJ-like product.  While designed for atmosphere travel,
it can be updated to space easily enough.  There's all sorts of neat
engines, ship templates (hazzah!), and the system is fairly easy.  I
adapted a galleon to that system, and the translation was pretty good.  I
highly recommend this one.
