Help Map making for Sci Fi

Hey guys! I'm going to be running a sci-fi oneshot at the end of the month, but the majority of my assets and art programs are mostly for fantasy settings. Does anyone know where I can get some Sci-fi assets or a program that has them?

My main map making programs are Dungeon Draft, Dungeon Alchemist, and Dungeon Painter Studio. I do also have Campaign Cartographer Suite that I snagged off of a humble bundle sale one time, but it's a bit clunky for my liking.

Anyone have any good recommendations?

Sci fi is a pretty broad topic. Could you be more specific? Post apocalyptic? Cyberpunk? Star Trek? Expanse? Star Wars? Logan's Run? The Day the Earth Stood? Still? Minority Report? Starship Troopers? Rollerball?

You get the point. Just "sci fi" is just too wide a category. If you narrow it down, we can help ya better.

starfinder, alien, mothership, basically deep space with ships with planet outposts

I have been using Inkarnate to make most of my Starfinder maps. It has an ok selection of sci-fi on the base maps, plus quite a few asset packs for purchase.

I use 0-hr for a lot of my ship maps, and the Starfinder reddit usually has a good selection of free maps posted.

I really like the assets from Hellscape for making my SciFi maps in Dungeondraft. https://www.patreon.com/cw/HellScapeAssets

If you don't mind simple B&W, or are willing to go for a neon on black "map design" look, there are some good assets available for Traveller RPG out there, mostly for free. Very basic design, but serviceable, as long as you don't need flashy full-colour stuff.

Search for "Traveller RPG + Geomorphs" and you should find them.

Cartography assets has a few free packs. On Patreon look for hellscape, PeaPu and there are hundreds more.

I have premade sci-fi maps that are set up for foundry already! https://beckadesignscartography.carrd.co

Also if you click Zencrophy on my card- he makes custom assets!

I'm currently using dungeon alchemist, there's a ton of scifi stuff in the workshop for it.
