Hey guys,
I'm currently running some one off games between my main storyteller's Rise of the Runelords campaign (which I am enjoying and would recommend for almost any group with the right storyteller).
My players are only really used to the World of Darkness and D&D / Pathfinder games. I'm running these like con-games, contained stories designed for one or two sessions in length and trying out various different settings and the next one of these is a game set in the Battlestar Galactica universe I'm planning to run using the Mongoose Traveller system. (Previous games have involved a road movie played with Shadowrun and a Gears of War game played using Savage Worlds).
Anyways, to the point. A major part of the game involves a lot of running around on a large pleasure cruiser type vessel. I know there are some spaceship maps available on drivethru, but looking though them nothing really seems to fit what I have in mind which is basically a big ship where most of the adventure will take place... I have no problem altering the ship a little, but the less work I have to do the better... (oh, and I'm not that worried about miniature scale, just to raise the issue, I am not planning for a lot of combat, and what there is will be likely quick and deadly).
So to finally cut to it, can anyone suggest a good map or two for my game? I don't mind paying, as long as it's not extortionate, (but I am in the UK, so that may have a factor if the answer is not web based).
Any other suggestions for resources as well would be also be great (hey, why not, as long as I'm here I might as well be greedy!)
Thanks,
Ecrodorias.

If memory serves, Dave and Stork had some sort of huge map of a spaceship worked out for a con once. I don't know if a copy of it ever got posted or not. I'll throw them a tweet to try to get their attention.

Sorry. Doesn't sound like what you were looking for.

I'd google cruise ship deck plans, and re-skin anything you find. Alternatively, a search for Star Trek or Star Wars deck plans usually turns up some interesting stuff.

Both very useful, thanks guys. I like the idea of using a actual cruise liner layout for some of the ship (modifying little bits here and there), as the plot I have for the adventure will take place almost exclusively on the ship (even if some bits might take the players outside for a space walk)... The other links though come in really good for some other vessels I might need for the adventure... Thanks a lot
