Description
OK, this is another reformat of old/cool Traveller work I did for the DGP "Starship Operators' Manual" - sans vindictive fusion drives notes 
This one was a real labor of love, as it's a graphic that I always wanted to see previously. It encompasses most of the major PC ship types for the game in that period. I was pretty anally obsessive about the detail and scale on this one, charting it all out precisely with reference books and calculator in hand.
Of note for this version, I reversed the heading on the Lab Ship. On the original it was the ONLY one pointed to the left... for reasons that escape me now. I'd have corrected it back then, but we didn't have a digital version and it was too much of a bother. How I love living in the future, now
The original art was quite large - almost 24" wide. Ink on Bristol. This version cleans up the formatting and makes it graphically relevant to "Traveller", not "MegaTraveller" which is a kind of subset of the greater scheme of things. "Traveller" is the property of "Far Future Enterprises" (Hi Marc!)

Hello -- I find this wonderful and I actually have the original published source, since I only just bought the Operator's Manual for which you made this. I was too young to even know about Traveller when it first existed, and only now am I seriously exploring Traveller. I wonder, I would just love to have this in a larger size to perform a vector study of the "Type S." I can only expect that, if I try to do that by scanning the book or enlarging this image shown here, pixels will blur too much and precious details will be obscured. Once I know the exact shape, I can retouch the cover image from "GURPS Traveller: Scouts -- First In" to help achieve much more photorealism. I will also use the scale of the ship to find out people's heights and deduce what they must be holding and carrying in that same cover image from GURPS. By the way, I know the cover image of that GURPS book was not something you drew. Even so, just for interest I should mention that the cover art, too, is superb.
