Googling will get LOTS of 'starship deckplans' or 'spaceship deckplans'.
You have to print them yourself, of course, but the variety, and much of
the quality, is excellent.

I have access to a plotter, but PDF's can be 'tiled', and even lowly Paint
can print across multiple pages. Cut and paste, and maybe laminate, and
there you go! Ok, cardboard walls can be nice...

Well, they talk alot about handling the battle after boarding, i.e. back it
up to the approach and docking, as well...

I meant at the FT level of action. I would say non-manuvering target ships
would be a requirement, but there's always the thought of Evil Empire(tm)
boarding torpedoes, which, amazingly, DON'T mash the contents to jelly.

REALLY small inertial dampers indeed! ;->=
