Designing a Starship


General Discussion


Hey everyone. I'm currently working on a SF campaign that I'd like to launch in my group sometime early next year. Most of it seems pretty straightforward, but I'm having trouble with the starships.

I'd like to have a few different designs, but is there a good generator or map maker that can build ships like this? I'd like to have multiple decks for big cruisers, small craft like the Millennium Falcon and maybe something for in between.

If anyone has something to recommend, I'd be grateful. Thanks.


Just to be clear, you do understand that for starship combat what you ship looks like isn't actually important, right?

Don't get me wrong, I do understand the desire to have a depiction of your vessel I just want to make sure you understand it's not necessary to have one to play.

Unless you mean for when PCs board opponents starships (or just derelict vessels or something) in which case I can better understand what you're after.


I don't plan to do a lot of ship combat, at least not in the beginning. What I'm looking for are cruiser templates for boarding runs and that kind of thing. Think Star Wars New Hope with the Tantive.


there are a few Starfinder specific deck plans out there, there are also deckplans for other game systems that could easily be adapted to Starfinder


I would look up Traveler ship plans and use those.


Template build or DYI?


Preferably template, but if I had something I could piece together I'd consider it.

Couldn't find the official stats. As far as I can say. It's a freighter chassis so better get a good size group.


Both the Traveler page and the Star Wars wiki were very helpful. I think I can piece something together with these. Thanks for the help.
