[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8729385, member: 50895"] So, I've had my arm twisted a couple times by different fans about me creating some custom Spelljammer ships and deck plans. Decided I'm making two dozen Spelljammer ships, all custom designed, though I've been thinking of creating a Dragon Turtle Submersible Spelljammer ship, which exists in canon, but I've got some ideas of sails and structure, will be using an alligator snapping turtle for reference on that. The rest are fully custom. The first ship shown below was actually a private commission I did this week for a Sparrowhawk, small Spelljammer ship. It turned out so well, I asked permission of the private commissioner, if I could use it as one of my custom designs for this collection - I will be giving him credit for it. This is the Sparrowhawk, a small armed Spelljammer ship with a single medium ballista mounted at top center. Rather than an open deck, except for the weapon platform, this ship is fully enclosed. It features two decks on either side of the gravity plane. The top deck having pilots quarters in head, with helm at the "shoulders", behind that is a common dining room with a flanking galley/pantry, opposite flank a crew quarters and the ship fresher/shower. With stairs up to weapon platform and down to lower deck. Steps over the gravity plane lead into the cargo bay, with a drop down ramp at aft and a pair of crew quarters forward. The cargo is strapped to raised to the ceiling and locked in place, when loaded from a planet/color sphere, where gravity is down on both decks. The lower deck has facility where the ceiling serves as a floor planetside. The crew quarters feature hammocks with leather belts to hold in mattress, pillow and blanket, so as not to fall off the bed when landing planet side. The deck and dresses are bolted to the floor/ceiling. The forward down angle of the wings allow the winds to blow the ship for movement.
