The Future Armada products from 0’Hour Art & Technology (formerly Ki-Ryn Studios), (available from e23 EDIT: Jan 2014 - Sadly these items are no longer available from e23!) are an excellent series of Spaceship Deck plans. There are currently 18 volumes, providing around 50 spaceships, including variants and support vessels.
The products are primarily deck plans, with descriptive text for the ships backgrounds, deck plans and current owners/crew, and some rendered images. The system specific stats consist of a block of d20 Future stats for the Spaceships and d20 stats for some of the main crew. Explanations of the d20 spaceship stats can be found here: (http://d20resources.com/future.d20.srd/starships/) The following are GURPS Spaceships stats for each vessel, group by published volume for easy reference. Where possible the spaceships use just the core Spaceships rules, but some use systems and rules from Spaceships 7, particular small, half and large systems. The ships are of varying sizes (converted roughly from the Mass and Dimension stats), although many of the small support vessels are larger/more massive to better fit the Spaceships rules. The ships are mostly TL10^, with a few TL9 and TL11. The main Reaction engine used for the spaceships (of any base TL) is the TL10^ Fusion Torch engine with sufficient fuel for planetary landing and take-off, most larger vessels also have a Stardrive system. This design decision should leave sufficient space to easily convert the ships to use alternative engines, no ftl, or contragravity system to suit your own setting and requirements. The weapon systems used are a rough conversion of those listed in the Future Armada stat blocks, swapping those as required should be simple enough. The Habitat Cabin configurations are directly based on the deck plans, in many cases the occupied cabins are configured with Total Life Support because it makes the numbers fit better.
