 July 22, 2009 - 1:05am | A revamp of the canon HS:5 freighter as seen on the inside cover of the SF/KH:0 Warriors of White Light module. Refer to: TT-456 Container Ship This ship has been rendered in an intermediate scale...prior deckplans have been done at 20 pixel and 75 pixel squares, this one is drafted on a 40 pixel square. I also dropped the scale to one square = one meter, rather than my usual 1.5 meter square grids. Check out the vrusk and yazirian figures that I modified from some ColonialChrome.co.uk Star Wars RPG deckplan figures. |

I have utalized/brutalized some of those to help my sci-fi tiles in Dungeon Crafter. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |

 August 19, 2009 - 10:51am | Wow... That looks just like my drawing.  I have the original if you want it. (Word 2003 format) Love the gif. Totally awesome. I can see a freighter dropping of a cargo pod. Would make it easier to unload as not all cargo gets dropped off at a single destination. This is one of the best done page of deck plans on this site. +1 |

August 19, 2009 - 3:15pm | http://www.colonialchrome.co.uk It's a Star Wars RPG deck plan fansite, the guy that hosts it renders MS paint deck plans for the SWRPG there. I'm pretty happy with the container ship deck plans myself, the entire concept worked out really well. I ran with an idea Art mentioned years ago at SF.org about containers versus holds, it had been something I dabbled with on pen and paper format many times over the years using the Warriors of White Light sample as a base each time. I also ran with the altered performance versus load that he had mentioned. Yep, I used your graphic for the base --- albeit with a few minor alterations. Most notable would be the wider cargo rail. I also halved and mirrored it for symmetry, and bulked up the drives a bit. P.S. I'm currently working on a "corsair container"...a fun concept to serve as an antagonist to container ship owners. I'm very close to completion on that project. I've also started on the next larger container ship, it'll basically be a wider version of the featured container ship with twin rails. A triple is also in the works. |
