Top downs?

[mondokhan]

I am interested in finding some nice top down views of some traveller ships so I can make some deck plans using campaign cartographer. Many have been done but there a still a few. I love the artwork on Boultons site and that type of graphic in a top down would be wonderful.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Mondo

Nothing of the quality of Boulton's, but the T5 pre-release and some orders of FFE CDs come with a sheet of common craft of top-down views. I would love to scan and post if for you, but don't want to make MM mad.

I can't think of it off the top of my head, but one of the older Traveller combat space games with punch out counters (I can't recall if it was MT or TNE version) are very nice and in top-down view. I already scanned mine, plan to use them for game-play counters, but once again not sure if it would be legal to send them to you.

I started making deckplans with AutoREALM, which is similar but simpler then Campaign Cartographer. I only have a few ships done thus far, and my top-down views are of poor quaility, only did them to show where all of the doors, windows, etc poke out of the hull.

aye, dont want to do wrong

Agreed nothing breaking any copyrights is a good idea. If there are useful views in t5 np. I will get them there for my use when I get the game. I was just wondering if there were any public pictures anyone knew. I will see if I can blow up a counter and keep its quality good enough. Not a bad idea. Thanks.

Let me check to be precise and I will let you know.

top downs desired

100 type s scout courier (not the fat rounded one...)
200t freighters I have in various lesser forms and some have printed plans now thus low priority.
300 fiery class escort (big want) I have a Gazelle plan but tempted to make a better one as well.
400t merchant (various)
400t Vagr raider...in fact any Vargr ships would be nice. (I love Vargr...)
400t yacht
400t patrol cruiser
400t corsair ships have some commercial plans (t20) that work ok...not color but they work well on openrpg. A nice top down for my own use would be ok too. (low priority given other plans around)

A few Aslan and Zhodani ships would be nice too.

I don't need any bigger ships but some 1k-4k ships could be useful and if any are known those would be nice as well.

I browse the internet occasionally looking for anything that can be made as a custom player ship as well. So any non Trekkie looking ships make good deck plan templates and visual representations as well. Most I find are not top downs however.

Just a few basics desires. Any or all that anyone knows of would be appreciated. I would be happy to post them when done (plans). It will take a while given its a side project.

Thanks, Mondo.

none I presume?

Has anyone seen decent plans of the fiery or even some non human ships? I will make my own but just curious to see what might be out there. Top downs make them look better but I can draw an outline. 3d art is something I am not good at.

Mondo, on the Fiery, there is deck plan in a DG publication, don't know which one, and I have an alternate version on my site, see sig. I did mine just fron the description in Supp. 7 (I think).
