Seeking Deckplan Sources (Semi Traveller Hero Related)

[steamteck]

Although not Traveller-specific, you might enjoy the Future Armada line.

future Armada is great stuff.

Things like the ESA's Mars Express? Paper model PDF.

I presume you mean manned spacecraft, though. I can take a look around, later, when it counts as "tomorrow" for me.

Perfect! Thank you.

(My apologies for the delay with this one—"work" intrudes—but there are a few tid-bits scattered throughout the pages that branch from this Wikimedia page covering manned spacecraft.)

Not so much what we could call deckplans, but there are a number of cut-away diagrams that might make decent starting points.

For fictional spacecraft that could also provide ideas there is the Space: 1999 Eagle, the Cygnus (aka Space Probe 1) from The Black Hole, and most of the Earth Force ships from Babylon 5.

(Unless you want to use a really big ship, like a Lightning-class cruiser, such plans shouldn't be too much trouble to adapt.)

sadly this probably isnt possible anymore with the Mongoose licensing fiasco.
I have a full set of the original Azhanti High Lightning deckplans. I had considered talking to Marc Miller about a license/agreement etc, and having the whole set scanned in color. talked to kinkos, 24 hours, 25.00 roughly for a set of scans on CD. at one point I had written permission from Marc to make 1 full size set of copies of the plans, but not sure if that still applies.


you can get the small scale version of the AHL plans in one of the reprint volumes, and in the MT adventure Arrival Vengeance, but whats in AV is very limiited.

If you really want all of the old CT material and dont spend a ton, I heartily reccomend the complete CT collection CD, at 35.00 its well worth it, its cut way down on the amount of books I haul to cons, now I take my laptop and 1 CD and a milk crate of assorted books. before it was a whole 17 gallon packing tub.

I hadn't been keeping up on the newer Traveller incarnations (I've still got loads of the original version to use yet), so this does surprise me a bit—not too much, though—as there is almost always a conflict of some kind eventually between companies.

I've also got the Azhanti High Lightning boxed set. Pity that isn't really available to new Traveller players (yet). Those ships are huge and the deckplans make for great running battles (and are used as such in at least one scenario).

Anyone know right off-hand if the old Judges Guild deckplans set has been reprinted anywhere yet? (I've got that one.)

Here are some maps for the "Alien Trilogy" video game. They cover the ship, but one room at a time. I'm not sure how similar they are to the movie layout.
