Looking for Starship Deckplans

Dominic · Oct 7, 2004

I'm going to be running my SW RPG home group through a scenario where they are stuck on a "luxury Liner" type ship that will have - technical difficulties - and they need to help people escape, similar to the Poisideon Adv. The main drawback is mapping out the ship and trying not to "force" the characters down one path, because that's all I have maps for. I want them to have options, and also to use maps to make the ship feel more real.

I'm looking for resources - PDF, websites, where I can get ahold of pregenerated deckplans. I have a couple of the Green Ronin PDFs, but need something larger in scope.

Any ideas gladly considered.

Ask and ye shall receive: http://deckplans.00sf.com/

I have a system that's about half-baked for starship/space station technical failures. If you want to see it, send me a mail at [my Enworld handle] at gmail dert com.

Holy popsicles on a stick thats a damn fine resource!!! One I may just well bookmark when I get home!

Just to derail the thread a little, are there any sites out there for non Star Wars deckplans, maybe not even TV-show/film inspired at all?

Ronin Arts has a series of starships, most of which (5 of 6) include deckplans.

And if you have the SkeletonKey Games e-Future Tiles you can design these ships at minis scale.

Ragboy those are awesome resources. Great stuff for my home campaign. Thank you.

A friend also suggested getting deckplans for The Titanic, or QE2, and updating. Anyone tried anything like that?
