Title: (space) station plans
Post by: beeber on October 18, 2007, 10:55:56 AM
anyone remember any previously published station plans?  not huge spacedock stuff, more along the lines of regula I from wrath of khan sized.  

my traveller adventure has a research station floating in the upper atmosphere of a gas giant.  i was going to use the station map from the old star frontiers adventure bugs in the system but it's a bit too small.  

considering the research station is about to go all doom on their asses, i need a little more real estate to play with :D

Akaisha Outstation, for Space Master, but I'm not fond of the layout myself.

Also, Regula-1 deckplans have been published.

The Traveller adventure Death Station was set on a smallish space station based upon the blueprint for a standard lab ship.

what's wrong with akaisha?  if you think the layout stinks, i won't even bother looking for it.

my first impulse was to hunt down regula's plans :)  may still do so

yeah, i have death station (and the "traders & gunboats" supplement).  i was hoping for something more. . . vertical?

I believe there were certain Robotech supplements that had plans for Space Stations of different kinds, including the Robotech Factory Satellite, but that one was pretty huge.

i think i have most of those--i'll have to dig around & see what's there.  the zentraedi ones will have to be scaled down, of course ;)

No need to hunt.

Beeber, I still have the old REGULA-1 plans from the FASA Star Trek RPG. If you PM me with your snail-mail address - I could just send them to you. They use a square grid just like all of the FASA deckplans did.

I found the plans harder to read than, say, a standard Traveller deckplan.  The difference between things like walls and windows and elevation dropoffs at balconies were not clear enough.  And no grid, IIRC.  I'm big on the graph paper grids.

There is Space Station Interiors (http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/sprkint2.htm) from S. John Ross's Cumberland Games.

There is a 'Traveller' 400 ton Lab Ship at Dan's GURPS Traveller deckplan site (http://www.daneveland.com/traveller/).

There is Pioneer X (http://www.btinternet.com/~salvo/traveller/deckplans/pioneer/index.html).

There was one in an old Dragon issue (along with a Traveller adventure).  I also remember a very old Judges Guild product filled with Station plans.

So would something this size work? If it does, PM me and I'll send you a comp of the Rehendi PDF. It is technically an orbiting prison but I would work.

Future armada does a decent medium sized space station, check it out here:

If you want to download a preview pdf to look at the deckplans you can go here:

and scroll down the page until you come to the Future Armada section. There is also the Argos III space station that may fit your needs.
