Reception
Tony Watson reviewed Adventure Class Ships, Vol. 1 for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "As for the deckplans themselves, they are excellent, as one might expect from FASA, a company that entered the market with a line of deckplans. These are probably some of the most meticulous plans around, offering not the usual half-inch, 1.5 meter scale grid, but a great amount of interior detail such as consoles, tables, beds, and regular and command chairs as well. This attention to detail allows easy use of the plans with tactical combat rules such as Snapshot or Azhanti High Lightning."[3]
William A. Barton reviewed Adventure Class Ships, Vol. I in The Space Gamer No. 49.[1] Barton commented that "Overall, Adventure Class Ships, Vol. I proves an excellent play aid for Traveller and is recommended fully."[1]
