Hi everyone,
Space mining is always an interesting subject, but you know what? Those asteroids and planetoids always have a nasty secret waiting for you. If it is not an alien artifact, it is some nasty alien bug for sure.
We have a set of three space mine maps. This and two others. Let us know in the comments if you would like to see more maps for this same theme in the futur...

Hi everyone,
For the past month, we've been practicing using Inkarnate as our new map-making tool. Also, we got the privilege of getting early access to the upcoming sci-fi style, and we've been testing it out. I must say that what we've seen so far, looks really promising.
This is the first spaceship we have done with the Inkarnate's early access sci-fi style and I think it l...

Hi everyone,
Time for another Captain's Starlog.
First of all, I have to say that my month so far has been a bit chaotic as my daughter got hospitalized at the beginning of the month, and I've been able to work only part-time. And my mind has been a bit unfocused. Fortunately, things are under control, but I cannot say when they return to normal.
Here at Miska's Maps office, w...

Hi everyone,
Here's another map glancing at the mining and salvage theme.
This map may represent some dusty frontier colony like a starship scrapyard, a work compound for a larger salvage operation, or a small mining town.
We did not include interiors for these buildings as we wanted to make just an exterior map for high noon-style quick draw duels or gun fights be...

Hi everyone,
We thought that you might have use for the wrecked freighter deckplan in one piece also, so we fixed it for you :)
This is a nice medium-sized light freighter with two decks. Good for your group of space adventurers, rebels, or Starfinders.
I hope you like the deckplan and find it useful.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
In September, we started working on some mining and salvage-themed maps. Here's the first one, and more will follow soon. We are working on some asset updates and new assets, and it has taken some time to get things right. We should have something to show you soon.
Without further ado, may I introduce you – The Wrecked Freighter.
Thank you for you...

Hi everyone,
This two-decked spaceship deckplan features a ship design that can function as a small science or exploration vessel. The crew quarters, engine room, mess, and two laboratories are on the lower deck. On the upper deck, there is the bridge, a small infirmary, officer quarters, a main airlock, and a meeting room.
When we started making this ship design, there ...
2023-09-30 19:17:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
We reviewed tier titles across all of Miska's Maps projects. With Miska's Sci-Fi Maps, we started thinking about whether the current tier titles are clear enough in their order. While they sound fun and thematic, their order might be unclear when not presented in context with the other tiers.
As we are on the fence with this decision, and changing the titles might cause...

Hi everyone,
The Orca-Class Dropship is designed for fast orbital troop and supply transportation. Lately, this ship has become an essential asset for many military operations. The Orca's four powerful directional engines provide fast take-offs, powerful braking when landing, and exceptional maneuverability when dodging anti-air fire or space debris.

Hi everyone,
Achilles-class gunship is a multi-role patrol and escort craft designed for close-range space, air, and ground support.
The ship is equipped for both atmospheric flight and space travel, and therefore, it is used for a wide range of missions. Whether patrolling a space sector, escorting a convoy of dropships through dangerous territory, or engaging in combat with ...

Hi everyone,
This is a quick poll about the next poll after the Vagabond Fleet deckplans we are currently working on. I got new map packs and some other news and announcements coming next week, but let’s take careb of this poll first.
We’ve been asked a lot about wrecked or damaged versions of deckplans, and the forgotten worlds theme got pretty...

Hi everyone,
This is a small battle map, but it might be useful if you encounter a small cannibal cultist hideout deep in the bowels of the old factory sector 40-K.
The pack also includes a version without the skulls and bones for more generic purposes.
Happy gaming!

Hi everyone,
This map features a small warehouse and an assembly hall for manufacturing or arming missiles with warheads. The warehouse is probably run by one of the gangs fighting for the dominance of the factory sector 40-K.
This map also has PNG files representing the vents under or above the workshop.
Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
As the Luminary-class Explorer deckplan is pretty much done, it's time to start looking at August's theme, The Vagabond Fleet.
This theme is about small spaceship deckplans, and for that, we need your input.
Below, I've listed many different ship types, concepts, an...

Hi everyone,
The Resurrection Lab map was a sort of experiment in making battle maps for boss fights or other such scenes. We call these maps "arena maps," as they often have a single large (often open) space where things happen.
With this map, we decided to spice things up by adding a maze-like set of server racks and data banks to make things more interesting. At the bottom of the...

Hi everyone,
The recent move to new office space has taken a lot of my time, and I haven't had the time to release all the latest releases, so here are a few new maps back to back :)
This release features a small shuttlecraft designed to fit the Luminary-Class exploration starship's rear hangar bay. It ca...

Hi everyone,
The Luminary-Class exploration starship is finally finished. The ship is the largest deckplan we have done so far. The design is largely based on the design of Star Trek space vessels, but I altered the typical design so that it should work fine for other space opera settings too.
Finishing the interior took much longer than expected, and this proved to be quite a...
2023-07-24 05:33:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry for the radio silence and delay with the new releases. For the past three weeks, I've been quite busy setting up the new office for Miska's Maps and helping out a potential new part-time team member who would be helping with cartography and Foundry VTT integration.
Hi everyone,
I want to check with you quickly:
a) Which Foundry VTT version you are using?
b) Would you prefer Adventure Documents or traditional scene compendiums?
Recently I have started using adventure documents, as they neatly import everything with possible linked journals, actors, items, audio sources, and playlists with one click. However, this do...

Hi everyone,
This is the first ever tileset I have made and published, but I'm sure this will not be the last. Making this set was a learning process, and I already have some ideas for improving the next set. Also, all kind of feedback is very welcome.
This set includes PNG files, but I will make conversions for Dungeondraft and Foundry VTT (ETA first half of July). ...

Hi everyone,
This map is a bonus release for this month and will be added to the Proteus Outpost theme pack. I thought this map might work well as some lab used for Dr. Blackwood's harrowing Project Ascendant.
With this map, we wanted to try a battle map with an "Arena layout." This ma...
2023-06-30 07:39:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
First of all, I would like to apologize for something. One of my patrons brought up the fact that "Industrial Undercity" maps that won a poll in February never happened. The assets were left unfinished and to be honest, I do not remember why this happened. This is not the first time thought.
As a person with (highly-functional) ADHD I have a tendency to ge...
Hi everyone,
As mentioned in my previous update post, in July, we will release more maps for the Luminary-Class Explorer theme and some generic encounter maps. After these, it's time to explore a new theme. In other words, it's time for a new map theme poll! :D
For the next theme, I have collected some re...

Hi everyone,
Here's a quick update on June's progress and upcoming releases. I haven't posted many updates this month, as some unexpected events have occurred. Namely, I found a small office space, and we are moving there in July. Having a dedicated workspace means more efficient collaboration with Leo and fewer distractions.
But let's get to the updates.
Hi everyone,
It's time for another Captain's Starlog update and to go through some recent releases and what we have been up to lately.
I'll try to keep this short and to the point and follow up with separate updates when necessary.

Hi everyone,
This is the last Proteus Outpost map for now. There might be additions later, as we had planned a few maps but could not fit them into May releases.
I hope this map proves useful in your games :)
Thanks to all my patrons...
