Re: Has anyone ever created deck plans of the FreeSpace ships?
Considering the raw size of the ships this would be an incredibly huge undertaking, and there's really no need for it.

That depends on your goal. The reason I would like deck plans is because I'm planning a tabletop rpg for my group. Since they would be playing marines instead of pilots, deck plans would be handy.

Specifically, I would want pre-Great War deck plans, and I would be more than happy to do what I need myself, if I knew where to get top views and side views of them.

As was mentioned a while ago, there is a project building a Fenris in Minecraft. It even has a thread, the relevant part starts about here. Not much in the way of a real floorplan is done yet, but the project is moving quickly.

I think lots of people came up with that concept

But I'm the only one who can quote a post to that effect. :p

You would need deck plans in order to do a FS fps, which could be pretty freaking sweet.  I guess that project over at Game Warden is stalled out, but you could try asking if they had anything.  Mmmm, NTF boarding action...

I agree, but that's quite a bit out of the scope of my project.

Thanks, I had missed that.

Pirate Captain: No! Ninjas can fly. Next question.
Pirate: Isn't it true that ninjas put poison on their swords?
Pirate Captain: I don't know.  I'd highly recommend not getting cut.

Yes
That is all I have to say to that. Now I'm wondering if it's possible mod wise for an already existing game to do this...
"No"

This is the only attempt I'm aware of, using the source engine, but it doesn't look like they got very far:

Even with a very limited scope (1 character model, couple of weapons, 1 map), I imagine it would be a rather difficult mod to pull off.  Anyway, I only mentioned it because their team might have designed some type of ship interior setting, though they might not have been thinking in that direction at all, dunno.

It's not Freespace (but may as well be a Love Letter to Freespace).

Well, no true deck plans, but that game meshes Space and Infantry/Boarding actions perfectly. Used to be a blast, but dunno if people still play.

Yes, the fighters are huge, the people are tiny

Are you kidding me? I'm in agreement that the fighters are huge but look at the people in the photo in comparison to the Ursa's cockpit. Either they need a rec room to putz around in while jumping to location, or the Ursa has  crew of like, 6 or 7, which we know isn't the case. The cockpits themselves are out of scale.

People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

I thought it was a given that the Ursa has a minibar in back.

All fighters with supersmall cockpits then?

Wait...how the...how the hell did you do that?
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.
