Large starship deckplans

[frankthedm]

I'm looking for some starship deckplans. Not of small starships though. I'm looking for something absolutely huge, something on the order of the size of the 'Nostromo' from the original Alien.

Maybe, just maybe, you might try contacting by email those involded with the alien movie. it is a longshot, but if you succede you could really luck out.

While on this topic Does anyone have floor plans for a biological space ship [SpellJammer Aestetic? A group of illithids have come to my current world to investigate some of their lost colonies and i could make use of a map of a jellyfish shapped spacecraft.

I don't know if this will be of much help but Jovian Chronicles has some great schematics for various vehicles in some of their products:

Also the Ships of the Fleet series of books has some great schematics and interiors. The only problem I can see is that the ships are not very big. Still, you might want to page through them at your local game shop. They are well worth it.

Alternity also had a bunch of products with maps in them but few as large as you want them to be. I suggest you take a look at The Last Warhulk as well as The Lighthouse if you're interested. The Lighthouse is a little thin on detail but it might serve as it describes a space station.

I was going to point out Dream Pod 9, which does Jovian Chronicles, but before that, they did the deck plans for Palladium's Robotech games. Huge 3 mile long Zentraedi battle cruiser type stuff and plans for lunar bases.

Yep, I was about to mention those. Those books are *fantastic* and I would recommend them to those wanting deck plans for their futuristic games. They are:

Macross II Deck Plans Vol. 1
Macross II Deck Plans Vol. 2
Macross II Deck Plans Vol. 3

All three of these books are very good - especially if you like the designs of the Macross/Robotech starships. Volume 3 is the one with the SDF-1 (complete with city) deck plans and the 3-mile long command ship is in Volume 1, IIRC (I'm at the office, book is at home).

P.S. The information in this thread is great.

It's probably not what you had in mind but I found some concept drawings of the Nostromo here:

just do a google search on alien and nostromo or sulaco. You also get some funny results if you try Wayland- Yutani, the name of the "company" that empliys Ripley.

Last but not least you should try this:

Although not technically blueprints or maps the concept art is tremendous. There are ships in this game that are positively gigantic. The mothership is huge. some are so big that you can't really get a good idea of the scale. Look through the concept art for some inspiration.

It's technically star wars but loads of great deckplans for transports and all sorts of ships here.

Thank you VERY much everyone!

I had also completely spaced the Jovian Chronicles books as a possible source. They've been hiding in a corner of one of my shelves, and promptly forgot about them!

That's what happens if money > time..... too many games, not enough time to play them all in.

*sigh* rereading my last post, I realize that came off as INCREDIBLY arrogant. I apologize if anyone took it that way, it was unintentional...

The WotC website Downloads section has .zip files of 54 of the original spelljamming ships. Just scroll down to the "Spelljammer Campaign Setting" area. You might find what you're looking for there...

http://wizards.com/dnd/files/sjdeck5.ZIP has both the Illithid Nautiloid ship and the Octopus ship.

Try this site. The plans are of the Titanic, but are very good and would work as a spaceship with some modification I think...
