Hi there.
In a session or two im going to design a dungeon that is inside an airship, in the ethereal plane.
The characters are sent to the ethereal plane, aboard their own airship, because the (sentient) ship has been possessed by a ghost pirate with a complicated backstory.
On the ethereal plane, the ship looks and feels different, its interiors are changed and warped, and is inhabited by ghosts and pirates, none to happy of the PCs presence.
I am planning to make a small dungeon out of this.
The ship we are using is the Golden dragon from Voyage of the Golden dragon.
This is the map:

Of course, that map is unsuitable for a dungeon: it has too many rooms all accessible at the same moment, with no clear path to follow and is just uninteresting, with rooms that are too small.
The original ship also has an hidden deck, and i would like to insert an hidden deck on the ghost ship, (by inserting another map) so that the PCs can connect things and find the hidden deck on their ship, too.
This deck houses the ship entity itself (it is a warforged) even if i don't have any ideas yet on what to put there (ideas are welcome)
This is more interesting, and more suitable as a dungeon due to room location (blocking a few ladders can lead to a somewhat linear dungeon:

However, it is much, much smaller that the original ship.
I am looking for a map that is suitable for a dungeon run, but also about as big as the original ship. Doesn't matter if it is not realistic, but it needs to have some big and small rooms, as well as a path to follow.
I think a "starship" map would be better suited to this than a "galleon" type map.
Anybody can help me find a suitable map for the ship and maybe the hidden deck? I've been looking for an hour straight, with no luck.
All the maps are either too small, or just not suitable as dungeon due to room locations.
Also, any ideas about what to put in the dungeon are welcome :)
Thanks all!
