They are on the FFE Apocrrypha 1 CD here:

Well worth the $35 if you ask me.
Best regards,

They're not on my copy of the CD - are you sure you're not confusing FASA's Starport Hotel plans with the Seeker Corporation Building and Research Complex plans?

Kafka is most certainly talking about the Seeker Gaming Systems material, the company was known back in the old LBB era as "SGS".
Seeker has been a notorious vaporware company in recent years. That means, for years they kept promising (on their sometimes-functional website) to revive their old Traveller products, but nothing has ever materialized.
And kafka is talking about THIS.... (image below):
Now how the heck would I know, other than I'm old enough to have seen actual retail copies back in the LBB (CT) Epoch? Well, because years ago, around 2002 or so, I grabbed a mint copy of their Science Research Complex.... got it for a few bucks from eBay. Mint copy in freakin shrinkwrap!!1 The seller probably had no idea how rare and prized these things are. So I gots me a copy of their Science Complex. As for the Corporation Building, I doubt I will ever see one again, I've given up on it myself.
Also..... one very very very major piece of Classic Traveller trivia. Seeker is the same company that was licensed to publish and sold the.... very old.... and rare gem known as the Classic Traveller "Map of Known Space" poster. It was a gigantic poster, and this must be a Holy Grail of old Classic Traveller artifacts of the 1980s. The poster was known to have flown at many important venues in that time, including at GenCons, Origins, and supposedly also flew in the very headquarters of Game Designers Workshop (unverified).
The same image of this poster appears as the "map" of Imperial Space that we know from a couple of the old LBBs. I forget which one. Does anyone remember?
Hence, I don't blame Kafka for searching diligently for the Seeker material. They are quite hard to find. They are rare gems, kinda like those FASA Starship deckplans. Maybe some of you "semi-influential" Citizens here can nudge Mr. Miller to bring back the Seeker licensed material and incorporate them into a CD-ROM?

Can you post a link please?
Also are they allowed? Are they one of those firms where their license is such that it can't sunset?
Best regards,

However, even as Seeker does have some good stuff...I just hope they can deliver upon their promises. I would rather be burned by a fellow citizen then falling for Seeker's promises.
For instance, I was to buy over $200 worth of stuff from them but I indicated that I could only do so in three months. They agreed. Then closed the website. Then when they reopened with a retooled website...they denied the deal ever took place despite me showing countless emails to the contrary. So, again, if anyone has WIN which is indeed is the blue covered item, in the above post. Please share, no reasonable price will be refused ie my top price for said item would be $__. (contact me and we can talk)

The various folio adventures are only a couple of $ each (only a couple of pages long each). I purchased and downloaded the PDF okay. Not tried the ebook versions

There was essentially a short adventure. That is why it is not worth too much but would mean a lot to me, as I routinely run adventures that need office towers. And, having big hunking blueprint type deckpans would aid my games immensity. Which is why it cannot also be PDF...unless, it was a very well done PDF.
The FASA hotel deckplans are reasonable and its fairly easy to convert the hotel to offices - assume staterooms become individual offices and big suites become offices for CEOs, Catering and recreation facilites can be common across both.
The PDFs are on one of the FFE disks and I have seen the hardcopy version on ebay (uk site I think).
