It was ocassionally boring here before you came along, I'm reminded of a toast, "May you live in interesting times!" and more fully appreciate the hidden curse implied
Just so happens I have a deckplan for a Type T from a game last year. It is based on the FASA Adventure Class Ships Vol. II. You can view it at my website:Originally posted by Vargas:
I know folks are busy giving us their visions of the Type S but I'd like to get in an advanced order for a similar treatment of the Type T Patrol Cruiser before the queue fills up
This deckplan was made using CC2 from Profantasy. They are going to produce a Sci Fi symbols disk in the near furture. Should make it easier to produce some good designs.Originally posted by trader jim:
hey shadow bear - that looks GOOD - what program did you use??? i am in the market but the programs are so expensive im afraid i would make a
big mistake...any advice????
Make that a _Merchant_. [sigh}
Excellent work!
Yes I was remiss in not posting right after looking at it but the drool had to be cleaned off the keyboard first
So, would you take a well loved Empress Class in trade? Or in other words I like it a lot, pretty well thought out and nicely drawn but...
Well, there is the hatch into the air-raft bay, but I think you're right -- I'll add an iris into the passenger side behind the aft lounge.Originally posted by RabidVargr:
One quick thing before I head to work. On the merchy, I'd put another hatch in the E/R. Always have a second way out in case of fire. Either a hatch on the other side or a escape scuttle. Or someday there's gonna be a gleefull GM and an irate PC...
Thanks, Far Trader! I'm sure I can think of something to do with an old Empress. [EG] Let's see what I can come up with.Originally posted by far-trader:

Dang it's hard to find anything to nit pick! I keep looking at it, checking displacements, running scenarios, etc. It all seems so close to perfect and in keeping with my own design philosphy I'm jealous, and thrilled. Keep up the great work!
OK, really stretching, mostly just some personal taste but a couple mods I might think about.
1 Blend the captains stateroom and office into one room for a better size and perhaps add a forward viewport, but... that messes up the very logical and well thought bulkhead and emergency doors (great plot device too) If you keep the current passenger forward common and emergency doors I'd add an emergency exit (hidden?) to the cargo hold (there's no way out right now if the doors come down).
2 On the passenger side move the whole stateroom row forward 1.5m, eliminating the aft viewport and adding a locker in the deadspace created, and giving the fwd stateroom a viewport if you like.
3 Move the iris valves for the aft airlocks (p/s upper deck) back 1.5m.
4 I can understand the bulkhead down the middle seperating the passengers and crew but generally feel the common space should relate to the number of users and so the passengers should have more room than the crew here. I'd slide the passenger stateroom on the starboard beam side to port (3.0m left) or center it and put the galley (both squares) on the crew side backing it, and the stores (both squares) in the current galley/stores space on the crew side.
