[Diaspora] Spaceship Images

[Trey Palmer]

I've been cruising through the archives of the ML (instead of working), and
found this topic. This is one that's near and dear to my heart, because all
too often spaceship=space opera based vehicle for artists. Or players (but
that's another story). Mainly because they don't have to _think_ about it.

Anyway, I rummaged around and found these for refs and players.
http://www.nels.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/GURPS/THS/THSpacecraft/index.htm has
some simple designs of the THS spacecraft.
http://nemtos.ouvaton.org/ Particularly pay attention to the Ray Tracing and
Plans on the left hand side. He also has some adaptations of THS to FUDGE.
http://homepage.mac.com/wbarker/designs.html has some beautiful bits.
Finally, if you haven't already, the Canaan Cluster has some nice images

Now, googling Realistic Space Ship netted me these
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=142e37ceef8eb09cb35966b35abae8c1.
While not all of them are applicable, enough are.

And last, but by no means least, check out the Theseus from Blindsight
http://www.rifters.com/blindsight/theseus.htm (which gives me a great idea
for a super extended range vehicle...)

So, now the big issue - I need advice on:

   - How to make these images into decent counters suitably sized for a
   8½"x11" combat map.
   - Do the same with the images from the sample space combat chapter from
   the book.
   - Specifically, how do I scale them without ruining image quality?


Thanks,
