I don't talk about it.  That's that Al Gore guy.  Didn't he invent the Internet and all its Tubes, too--or was that Quayle?

No Quayle invented the "Potatoe."

Star Armored merchant deckplans...  Jump 3 so probably not what Eris is 
looking for, and little cargo space.  But, I drew these years ago from the 
ones published in High Passage.

I knew the Star Class Merchant rang a bell! :) Yeah, I was 
looking at that High Passage just the other day...while 
searching for a Beowulf.

Dang it! The Beowulf has been in the Traveller psyche for 30 
years now, and there are no deckplans of that class on the net 
anywhere. Not like the ones in Snapshot anyway. Of course, 
*that* set of plans are about 30% too large. I guess I'm going 
to have to draw up some plans.

There's some in the GURPS Traveller book IIRC, but they're done on
that shitty GURPS hex grid.

Grids are less important than knowing where everything is...I have  
the GT book; anyone want a good scan of it?

Bruce, I'm about 1/2 the way to doing my own Beowulf plans 
now. I modified it a little from the plans in Snapshot to get 
the size closer to 200 dtons...I think I have it at about 210, 
and that includes some "waste space" for structure (something 
CT never took into account). The plans are roughed out on 
paper now, and I'm going to try to put them into computer form 
now with Autorealm (or failing that Paint). Once I get them 
online, someone might (or might not) want to "fancy" them up a 
bit and/or try to do a 3d external view. :)

Strangely enough, I think you got more snow in that storm than we've
gotten all *winter* so far in NJ... ;-)
