"The Skylark of Space" had a big spacegoing golfball back in 1928. Successive books eventually made it to planetary-scale balls.

Cool, I may have to put up a bibliography of Spherical ships on my sight once its up and running.

Here's the latest cross section...I'll play with it some more and then go to the deck plans.

Looks good. I look forward to see more.

I loved the concept of Traveller. We tried it for a short while, but there was a valid critique, in that if you stayed in whatever service to get good at something, when you retired you were OLD. It was hard for us when were 18-20 somethings to relate to being 50 or 60. Now, of course, is it SO much easier.

I think I recall this style of ship from one of the supplements...? I have them, but they're all packed in storage. If I remember, I'll pull them out. Azanti High Lightning, Invasion Earth, and Imperium (loved that game). Always won at Imperium. The owner, in a fit of pique, gave me that game and refused to play anymore. I tried to give it back, but he refused, so I got a couple of cool board games, and several supplements many many years ago. Snapshot was another cool, short game (used for close combat), and I used a lot of those rules when doing DnD when magic and tech intermixed.

Nice artwork. What programs are you using for the artwork, Ravells?

For these I use a vector drawing program called Serif Drawplus. It has most of the functionality of Adobe Illustrator but at a fraction of the price and it's much more (to me) intuitive to use as well.
