Future Armada (d20 Future)?

I'm wondering if anyone has converted the d20 Future ships from the Future Armada supplements to Traveller statistics (for any flavor of Traveller)? I got a bunch of them recently, and they're very nice visually. My players are used to minimal visuals with their RPG, and suddenly having beautiful 3D images and beautiful deckplans in a variety of sizes is causing something of a renaissance in their descriptive play. I'd like to use them (I figure the 5' squares they use convert very neatly to 1.5m squares -- 1.5m is about 4.92 feet), but I've no idea what the ship stats should be.

The QLI book on the Type S Scout has D20 Future stats for that ship. I think there was some discussion a while back on converting T20 to D20 Future but I forget if there was any discussion of conversion from D20 Future to Traveller (any version)

The deckplans look very nice, and some of the NPCs are interesting. By itself, that's enough to at least consider it worthwhile to convert them. :)

I like the Exeter and Jo Lynn, obviously Firefly-inspired and the new Misfortune looks very nice as well for one of the larger bulk freight carriers. But the things I can get some real use out of are the space stations -- the Vanguard as a smaller outpost, and I figure on using the large Argus III as an orbital highport.

I've got a few, just picked up the Gryphon recently.

I've been looking at the old FASA and a High Passage I got used also, and most of the new ships (Survey Cruiser & Zhodani Far Trader) in them just have the same exact or near exact stats as ships in CT books so, I'd probably just find the closest match and go with that...unless I felt like doing some sort of full-blown conversion.

The Morningstar reminds me of a Broadsword, fairly large, mercenary + 2 cutters...er shuttles, and so on.

The Armada

Actually these are good enough it would be nice if they went multi-game system with them... not sure if they could do that but hey... its worth the thought.
