I refined my 200 ton Jump-5 design and mapped it out.

I present the Luminous Nebula.

Awesome work thanks for posting it on these boards

cant wait to use this in my traveller campaign once it starts up in a few weeks.

oh you may want to check the link you used on the mongoose boards(if that was you) as it takes you to some other place that looks dodgey.

Woo-hoo, J-5!

Very slick graphics, Rob. Did you use a specific mapping program?

I was going to make the joke, "Jump-5 in a 200-ton hull? Where do the passengers ride? Strapped to the nose cone?" But, hey, there you are. Nicely done. Not even as spartan as the X-boats (but not by much!).

!i!

Thanks for the compliment. I used CorelDRAW. I GMed the Traveller Adventure for a short while several years back and drew up the March Harrier (known as Semper Fi in that game) in the same format.

So for this one I had much of the little symbols already done. I set the grid to one every 1/4" and I was good to go.

However Campaign Cartographer + Cosmographer Pro has pretty all the standard Traveller deckplan symbols done.

Hey if you want more cargo we can get a few more ton by putting the two gunners and the navigator into low berths.

Dude, that's beautiful. You should see if Mongoose wants to publish it in the next issue of Signs & Portents.

Which could make either jump insertion or combat a bit tricky...

Good idea. Is there a contact email for them?

Thanks

i think theres a submissions email address in the latest issue of s&p or you could just drop a pm to matt on the forums and sort it that way(i think he deals with most of the submissions these days anyway)

Printed and saved.

Thank you.

Could you do a version with hexagons instead of squares as the overlay??

Yes, thats the GURPS scale.

From flat line to to flat line, not corner to corner.
