My take on a Classic Traveller starship – the Gazelle class Close Escort, the most broken of a bunch of broken Traveller ships that don't seem to fit the actual rules. Who cares though – a great little ship for a campaign where people like a bit of travel and piracy/pirate hunting.

Looks great!

I expecially like to various colors you've used for the design/furniture, not to mention the striking red color for the engines.

Thanks for sharing.

I've never used the Traveller rules for spaceship combat, so don't know how they'd work for ship to ship skirmishes/encounters/combat, since they always seemed a bit fiddly. Of course, that was years ago, so perhaps they really aren't that bad.

May have to try that out, and/or come up with some simple Full Thrust stats for them instead.

I was sick of green for engines.
BTW – do you like the Beryllium Sphere?

Good stuff!

ah memories. I just got the T5 rules while they were on 4th of July sale. I haven't looked at Traveller since 1984. Still, super fond memories.

Your deck plans are great!

I made a slight adjustment to these deckplans so there is a new version at the Woolshed. The barbette hatches did not match up with the deck hatches.
