The Traveller Website Review
----------------------------
Today its the turn of Paul and Cathy Schirf's ...
Paul Schirf's Traveller
(http://www.perkworks.com/Traveller/)
If you type in the address in all lowercase (or follow the link
from Freelance Traveller) you will see that the perkworks.com
website seems to be in a bit of disarray. (There are several
Sims2 files, a large Harry Potter zip file (whatever is in
there), and a web forum for EverQuest 2.) However, using an
uppercase 'T' in Traveller will get you to a sort of home page.
This identifies the site as Paul and Cathy Schirf's Traveller
page. As you navigate around you quickly find that most of the
pictures are missing and many links are broken. There are four
links from this page: Deckplans, World Maps, Landgrab, and Links.
Only the Deckplans section has any real content.
Here there is a list of 25 sets of deck plans rendered with CC2.
You can either download the CC2 file or a GIF version. Here's
the list of ships:
- 100 Ton Droyne Scout
- 100 Ton Chtanoql Class Zhodani Scout
- 100 Ton Steed Class Personal Transport
- 200 Ton Sprinter Class Express Courier
- 200 Ton Portage Class Light Passenger Transport
- 200 Ton Coach Class Yacht
- 200 Ton ChronoRaptor Class Yacht/Transport
- 200 Ton AquaSafari Class Science Vessel
- 200 Ton Animal Class Safari Ship
- 200 Ton Vice Class Light Patrol Vessel
- 200 Ton Prince Teriadeven Class Far Trader
- 220-400 Ton Slazenger Class Modular Merchant Ship
- 300 Ton Relationship Class Merchant
- 300 Ton Goose Class Merchant
- 300 Ton Maryland Class Patrol Vessel
- 300 Ton Asteroid Ship Rock
- 400 Ton Trenchant Class Patrol Cruiser
- 400 Ton Torch Class Patrol Cruiser (Book 2 - Type T)
- 400 Ton Type-L Lab Ship
- 400 Ton Patterson Class Belter/Refinery Ship
- 600 Ton Shivva Class (Zhodani) Light Patrol Frigate
- Góður-Ár af Verslun Class 1000 Ton SwordWorlder Frontier Merchant
- 1000 Ton Faerie Class Passenger Liner
- 1100 Ton + 400 Ton Counterparts Class Freighter
- 5000 Ton Sloan Class Fleet Escort
Be aware that Paul is a GURPS player and so these ships were
rendered on a hex grid rather than the usual square grid. And
some (but not all) have GURPS stats. Some of the ships look
quite interesting and even if you are not a GURPS fan its worth a
quick visit to snag these deck plans while you can.
Other than that there is little to see. Some of the file dates
are from this year, but this is clearly a dead site.
