Excellent graphic.
If it don't have deck plans it aint a ship...

A colour graphic of the exterior of the Akhilleus, an example of the Beowulf class in service.
My take of the colour scheme in work done by Beech of CotI as appearing on the 2009 Traveller Calendar (August).

Not to disparage your work...
...if that figure on the bottom is like 6 feet doesn't it make the forward window almost the size of a small drive in screen? Like about 20+ feet wide or so? Isn't that a little big for a window on a spacecraft?
No worries, especially when worded so generously and modestly. I don't mind questions or constructive critique in the slightest. I'm more disappointed when there's no reaction (is it that bad? is everyone doing something else?) and I despise myself when I can't comment on the work of others for the same reason.
You've got the scale right and I agree to a degree. When I drew it I was still weighing choices on that (and some other issues iirc). The standard classic version where the area is actually a cut out and the window is just the short vertical bit at the back. Or, what seemed more sensible to me aerodynamically, where the window is set flush to the hull shape over the whole area that is normally cut out. I went with the second partly because it was easier to show in my simplistic graphic rendering.
And iirc that area gave me the most grief trying to get "right"
For what it's worth I figure the short vertical window is still there as well, and the volume inside the area is sealed vacuum. And there are of course retractable full cover plates as well (as hinted at by the pax window shown covered).
Why do you say that? I thought it was a remote descendant of the Hero class, and IIRC the Hero was a Terran Confederation design.The Beowulf *is* an old Vilani design.
Sorry alveric, thought I had posted a reply to this, must have gotten lost in the etherThank you for the praise, patience, and asking again

PS - far-trader, have you done deck plans like this for any other Traveller ships?
