600 ton Heavy Corsair deck plan for Space Pirates

[Gamerprinter]

Working on the the second deck plan for my Stock Armada venture (stock art deck plans for publishers). My steam punk star ship deck plan became the first release of that. I will also release a gamer version with gazetteer, sliced map for printing, full size layered version, and virtual tabletop ready version.

I'm going to create a 600 ton Heavy Corsair. In Traveller 400 ton Corsair is the common version and are known to be heavily armed and fast, with no armor. So this version will have some armor, a large cargo space to be more resilient to anti-piracy escorts and armed police cutters. The Stock Armada line will always include 4 versions of each deck for publisher variety. My plan is to make one new and shiny corporate version, one with a flamboyant design fitting its captain's personality, a rough and tumble one with some damage, rust, etc., and a heavily damaged one about to be boarded by police and marines...

Working on a new bridge at the moment.

Decided to start the variations with 3 different bridges - still thinking on what to do on the fourth. One (already posted) is the standard corporate bridge, the second is a more flamboyant design reflecting the personality of its captain, and the third one showing wear and tear.

Okay, here is the Buccaneer class 600 ton Heavy Corsair star ship deck plan layout - so far. I need to add a lower deck that contains cargo, low berths, escape pods, cutter bay and additional fuel space. The blue area is hydrogen fuel storage. (work-in-progress).

Next update to the Buccaneer class 600 ton Heavy Corsair star ship deck plan. I finished the top deck, and will soon start the lower deck. Note: there are four versions of this deck plan being created. The one below is the standard version. I am creating one with more reds and blacks for a more flamboyant captain reflecting his personality (say someone that might be called Red Beard or Crimson Hawk), one with wear n' tear (rust, minor damage, etc.), and one that has barely survived battle damage and is ready to be boarded or limping its way home.

Both decks of the 600 ton Heavy Corsair star ship deck plan. Top deck to the left, bottom deck to the right. Aft end of bottom deck are life pods. Either side of the bottom deck are cold sleep pods. At center is a 50 ton Boarding Cutter ship. Will be doing the deck plan for cutter next. Almost done. Then detailing all decks for four themes - standard, red version, wear n' tear, and battle damaged.

Here's an image of the topside hull of the Buccaneer class Heavy Corsair star ship and its iconic hawk graphic, and one of the lower deck on the ground with it's clam shell bay doors open (with shadow of upper deck overhead). I'll use this on the cover, maybe). Oh, I added more fuel space on the lower deck.

The 50 ton Boarding Cutter with maneuver drive only (no jump capability), used for shuttle and for boarding parties. The aft section can hold cargo or a squad of boarding marines. Since fore and aft decks are on same level, with engine and power plant below the deck in the aft section, fuel is located under the fore section deck.

Someone on the G+ Traveller RPG community made the obvious suggestion (which I didn't see) of moving the airlock to the aft section of the boarding cutter from the center to the left side, which allows a better seating arrangement, and I can use that dead space aft of the airlock as a closet. I added a first aid kit too. I like this better.

I was actually done with the design, at the point of placing a grid (my last step), when I had a fatal error (very rare) and could not save the file, and the file became corrupted. I tried a couple ways of recovering the file, but could not, so this map is dead. I'm not the type of guy who enjoys redoing the same deck plan again. I find it too disappointing to try again. So I'm going to start working on a different star ship deck plan to move forward... Too bad, it was so close to completion. Enjoy the files as posted.

Oh, dude that sucks. I know the feeling, thankfully though these here seem in an eminently usable state already.
