Thomas O'Dell class Merchant Free PDF

I found this on RPGNow.

Click on number 10, the one marked "free".

It's not Traveller, but it IS a free PDF of a merchant vessel deckplan. I'm puttering around with the conversion of the stats into T20, since the PDF was written for d20 Future originally. Otherwise, how can you pass up some free deckplans? Especially when they look like they are targetted for the Firefly / gamer fan demographic.

Oh, I really don't think that the ship was designed by someone who plays Traveller. See, the ship doesn't have an airlock. I guess the crew and passengers just use one of the cargo bays for entry, exit, and EVA....
 
Nice. I think they would easily fit into most people's Traveller Universe. A little simplistic, but on the whole interesting shapes with nice, busy lineart plan illustrations on the cover. Shame about the resolution on the deckplans (looks to be about 72dpi) and the blurred JPEG compression - I don't know if that's just in the free one. On the whole, I like!

What I did notice on the last page - and this might be of interest to other deckplan artists - They do sets of colour graphic tiles for Deckplans. Worth a look methinks.

The more I look at this thing, the more I'm thinking that it is just a cargo-only version of an A2 Far Trader (Type A2c Far Trader maybe?). You'd get the same basic performance, but its cargo capacity would be 90 tons (since you can get rid of 6 of the staterooms and make them cargo) and its price would be MCr3 less than standard. I saw no reason to get rid of the low berths, they could be the odd green or tan boxes on the map.
