Actually, the guy who did those Future Armada Deckplans also did this on the Serenity RPG forums

Ahh, that'll be the Ryan Wolfe that's in the Serenity rpg credits then 
I hope he does a few more - for both Serenity and Future Armada.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, so I thought I'd tag it on to the end of this one.
I've just been studying the Serenity ship-building rules. Heavens, they're sweet! The ship is treated like a character and even has the same stats as PCs (though interpreted differently, naturally). I really like that idea. Anything that makes the ship feel like part of the group and not just another piece of equipment is just dandy in my book. They're very vague on volumes too which gives the deckplan designer a lot more freedom to be creative with space.
I'm liking this a lot!

Wow, very lovely deck plans. Now THAT is what I would wish for T5 (or CT+) deck plans to be!
That's very muhc like most d20 rules for vehicles/starships. T20 is a little unusual in that respect - most games figured that if you had already taken the time to learn how a character works, then making the starships interact in the same ways (at least for combat) made sense too.
BTW Ryan Wolfe has a bunch more Serenity stuff here:

Dear Folks -
OTOH, I think that giving quirks to a PC's ship is a good idea. I've seen a few old articles and tables that use the idea, an which suggest that a baulky old ship can be used as yet another type of Push to steer adventures.
Bummer. I guess that's where the missing Droyne paper figures have gone.

Well each square is five feet per side, which is pretty close to a 1.5m square
If you assume that fuel is in the dead space the plans don't show then you can easily use them for Traveller IMHO.

We worked out on Waves in the Black that a Traveller Dton is roughly equivalent to five Serenity RPG tons, if that helps.

^ Awesome site, Crow. Cut and pasted a few deckplans, or as the Browncoats call them, layouts! Keep encouraging them to be creative, it may spill out into the OTU if we're lucky!
