looking to add a rpg area to a starship, my site

I guess I'll have to preface the subject line a bit.
I have a starship I started working on around 1970. I realized back then it would take too long, many lifetimes, to draw it using regular paper drafting tools. Along came Auto-CAD, but I couldn't afford the computers to use it, nor the software.
These days I have Campaign cartographer 3 with Cosmographer Pro.
I decided to tie in my starship pages wth my AD&D site.
Basically, passengers didn't read the fine print, and found they had signed onto a generation starship. After many attempts to not be bored, one of them researched old games. And found mention of AD&D first edition. Another passenger remembered the dice collection they had, inherited from a g-g-g-great-grandpa.
So, what I want to do is design game rooms on the starship that the passengers might create to play AD&D first edition, OSRIC, etc.
this is my starship site, my AD&D site link fixed Nov 7, 2016.
So, I am looking for suggestions, or free artwork, I can link to your web site as long as it doesn't violate my web host's terms of service, I can use/make into, these game rooms.
The starship upper hull is 5 miles across. Just click on the site category 'maps' to see list of the deck plans.
Thanks for your assistance.
edit: turned links into clickable links, sorry, I am very tired.
( Rumor has it the mile across cargo door was designed to hold the entire starship Enterprise... allegedly)
Removed links that no longer work, the one above wil ltake you to my site and it has a large site navigation menu.

That table looks great. What I would like to do to make it fit more into the 'they are actually playing in a pocket universe, but don't know it' would be for me to be able to place maps from Crestar onto the table.
So, any blank tables and chairs ? Besides the hexagonal, several sizes of rectangular and one or two L-shaped tables as well.
I couldn't possibly do this myself, my drawing skills are pathetic.
Thanks !
I'll also add individual symbols for accessories. Dice, obviously. What about books? Would they have access to 1E books? Anything else you would like? I have pngs for pool tables, ping pong, air hockey and foosball.
Which of your maps do you want converted to png symbols? (That is easy too. I made symbols out of a number of my own maps for war room/map tables.) Post links to the specific maps so that there is no confusion.)
Just list what you would like and I'll see what I can come up with.
I'm not sure the characters would have access to books. More likley they would have ebook readers. I happen to own an Astak 5" EZPro.
Tables, probably metal with a wood appearance to the top.
I have some 'standard amusement' areas I am working on. Foosball, etc. would be great for those. I also have a small amusement park area. These are about 300 feet by 300 feet.
Here is a link to my Adventures and nearby towns page on Crestar. link fixed Nov 7, 2016.
Uhm, no Modern or Starship Crew clothes, headgear, shoes.
Does anyone have something I can use for those items ?
Thanks.
Hmm... I wonder if anyone out there might be interested in adding sand tables to a castle... a sort of playfield for a NPC king to work on defending the realm so to speak.

wow. Wow ! WOW !
A most wonderful set of pngs !
Thank you !
Scaling up the deck to 5 miles across... gives a room og 1,040,904 square feet. which is 948 feet by 1098 feet.
But, that is kinda my estimate using the 'distance' item under Info in CC3.
Two of the walls are curved. So, I think that will make my measurements slightly off. I just clicked 3-7 times along each wall, so the curvature wasn't taken into account much.
I have done a 'rectangular bmp' save as and will work on it as a map as I have time.
Note that I'll be adding Google ads to my starship web site today.

In Traveller, they state the official line is that Bussards are impossible, galactic hydrogen is too thin to support such engines. But I think they are neat, so my version of the Milky Way has them.
