100-ton Scout/Courier Artwork

Ooops, I meant to make that one available for everyone to see!

Ok try it now.

Deckplans should follow this weekend hopefully. I will make everything for the Scout/Courier available as a free PDF for everyone.

Obviously different from the standard arrowhead (no upper gallery...), but very nice indeed.

Yeah its a departure from the old arrowhead design but I think it still looks and says 'cramped but servicable' scout ship.

The way we look at it is that the Imperium contracts these to be built by local shipyards across the empire, thus you will have variance in design style. They still all are capable of doing the same job and fill the same specs, but they are not all built the same. This is the style built and used in and around the Gateway domain.

This is not your fathers type S.


------------------
I am increasingly of the opinion that RPGs are by the nature of their creation subjective phenomenon. due to the interaction between game designers, game masters, and game players all definitions, rules, settings, and adventures are mutable in acordance with the uncertainty principle as expounded by Heisenburg. This is of course merely my point of view.

Hey, Hunter?
Can you drop me an e-mail? I am an old aquaintence of Bryan's, and I have at least two of his ship designs that were never published anywhere (well, to my knowlege). I'd be happy to forward them onto you or him,
as they are quite sweet, and really deserve to be viewed.

And yes, I do like the new design!

Hey!

That's really great Hunter! Have you ever thought about running a Scout/Courier artwork contest? Do you know where I could find other designs for the S/C?

As in other standard types, or completely different hull interpretations?
 
Either are great! Gotta love those Scout ships. Is it me, or does that new scout artwork remind anyone of some of the artwork in The Traveller Adventure or other CT artwork from around that timeframe? Nothing specific I can put my finger on, tho.

I have some: a Vilani style hull Type-S and a slightly larger "Warscout" based on a piece of Trav art, and also Vilani-styled. I also have a Zhodani Courier (200 tons). There's also a 150-ton TNE scout (the "Hubworlds Scout") hiding somewhere on my harddrive. While the plans were never printed, the external picture is on page 44 of Traveller Chronicle #7...

When I first saw the iso view I thought, "Hmmm. Still prefer the old look."
Now I've seen the side and plan views I'm won over. A very nice looking design. Looking forward to seeing the plans when they're up.

I’d like to add another “Well done” to the list for Bryan Gibson’s artwork, looking forward to seeing more of it in T20.

Not that big a departure from the “old” arrowhead designs And as far as that old “attic”, while interesting, did anyone else notice that it had to have had an overall height of less than 0.5m, especially near the bow sensor position, and the same goes for the “3 tons” of forward cargo hold volume. That said the old Type S was probably the most volume accurate deck plan published. Have a look here for another players take on closer to accurate displacement deckplans for some classic ships...

As for ScoutCadet469

See the above link. Also I have a couple old home brew designs, with “not quite ready for prime-time” deckplans. A TL-12 Aslan design, and a Manta Class variant, mission built for submersible operations. If there’s interest maybe I’ll have to find time to dust them off and polish them up (though last time I tried to put them and some other stuff on the web, my hard drive crashed just before I was ready, and all my files went to byte-heaven, I know, backup, backup, backup... I was too creative to be bothered).

I also recall a very nice published variant with deckplans, probably from DGP’s magazine, but I’ve lost them, maybe someone else remembers it. I think it was a conical hull.

I gotta agree with him, the artwork gave me the same feeling, could be the clean black and white, technical line drawing look.

Hey Hunter, Takei mentions an iso view, can we see that too? Thanks.


This is the far-trader Empress Poppaea signing off.
 
I knew the Bryan Gibson artwork looked familiar - he did artwork on the DGP 101 Vehicles for MegaTraveller. I'll have to look to see what else. Good catch for the new art guru!

Really sweet. I've a soft spot for the origional and the new SJG plans are "Way Kewl", but this is a nice take on the concept.

Heh, anyone else remember the Judges Guild Serpent Class Scout? I'll have to pull _those_ plans and illustrations on some newbies again someday...

The Serpent was actually from Paranoia Press.

Judges Guild had deckplans for the standard Type S that were quite different from the standard...

AH, that's right. And I have both too. Oops.

William
 
Nice drawing. Is this going to be typical of the work done on T20? I was wondering if you could describe what s/w you use to create your drawing, or do you do it the old fashioned way - pen and ink?
