The ships book for Alternity was called, appropriately enough, "Starships". May be tricky to get one these days.

I've seen copies at local Half Price Books stores, though I'm not sure how big the chain is.

Ron [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]A (completely kosher, licensed by WotC) PDF of this book can be purchased from the ESD section at SV Games for $4.99

I don't have it, so I can't vouch for the quality of the transfer. The ESDs (contracted out to Bastion Press) can be of variable quality.
 
I suppose I should say what I am specifically looking for huh?
They are as follows:

Scout
Far Trader
Mercenary Cruiser
Corsair

In other words, anything that the PC's might end up with as personal vessels. I doubt the any of them would have capitol ships as personal vessels!

There are a number of versions of the Scout, Far Trader, and Mercenary Cruiser available on the net. All three are available on Brook West's site. Someone just posted a more clasically styled Scout.

I beleive that there are no deck plans for the T20 ships yet. By T20 ships I mean the ones used as Illustrations in the T20 book.
Only the Scout/Courier, the plans for which are floating around this site somewhere.

For other editions of Traveller, look at the already mentioned large-scale plans by Steve Jackson Games for Gurps Traveller. These are mostly derived from CT-era plans, as found (these days) in the Classic Reprints books from Far Future Enterprises (should be very orderable through your local store, though the ships are scattered throughout the old stuff. The highest concentration will be found in whichever of the reprints has "Traders and Gunboats".

Generally don't bother with the T4 book "Starships", as the plans are almost entirely unuseable.

The ships book for Alternity was called, appropriately enough, "Starships". May be tricky to get one these days.

The other very out-of-production book you may want to find is for the old West End Games version of Star Wars, called "Stock Ships".

There is a book with the same name for Space Master (from Iron Crown) which you can safely avoid, as all of its artwork is on the covers...

For a wild and wooly index of old Traveller ships in print, check my site (http://member.aol.com/gypsycomet/index.html) under Shipyard, and look at the texty bits at the top of the page. Gotta link to a BIG table...
</font>[/QUOTE]I looked through the online store and most of the stuff I was looking for is out of stock :(
 
So can anyone else recommend what old books would be good for getting old deck plans? I know that there are "Traveller Experts" out there somewhere who can help!

As Ron mentioned, versions of all three are on my site, including deckplans that match the scout from THB. See my sig for the link. :)
