Pretty neat!

I like it; always thought that if I had to do a large scale ship, I'd go Azhanti.

At 35pixels per metre(give or take)? You would have to be completely insane.

I might think about it.

 

[Condottiere]

Modular; the Azhanti is basically a high rise apartment complex, so basically I'd be cheating, since you'd have a series of identical floors for various functions.

It's an inelegant solution to possibly wartime production, and could have structural weaknesses for medium and large sized warships.

DECK TWO

Full plans at the Woolshed. Deck Three main cargo is pretty simple so wont take too long - chopping wood for winter notwithstanding.

Great stuff Brian!

Nice work!

1. Have you published the ship stats?
2. What program are you using to create this?

I have never made a ship under Mongoose Traveller before so I might leave that up to someone with more experience to retro-fit to the rules - but I suspect my plans would break them. You might use the Large Freighter on Suppl 2 Page 44 as a basis. Pretty close all in all.

The original stats were done under GDW High Guard.

I use good old Microsoft Paint.

No way! How? Tile set? Which one?

What's a tile set?

As to how - I see pixels in my sleep now. 800% magnification and using bits of other people's deck plans helps.

That's what I meant by tile set.

What are your sources?

What are your sources?

Star Wars Deck Plan Alliance (of which I am a member) for starters. Lots of component parts that are easily modified. Also anything that can be reduced to scale without losing definition. Architectural pieces - such as people for starters used in plan views. Right now I am reducing some rugs and carpets down to 35pixels per metre.

Deck Three.


Hope you get some use out of this in your games. If there is any interest I can post plans with no cargo layout or "crew" etc.

Exactly what I was going to ask...
