This is my first thread, so please be patient with me.
Anyway, deckplans are my passion and I've always wanted to make a big ship. I like running the kinds of adventures that involve rating and ensigns on capital ships, sometimes in customs work, sometimes as a damage control party - you know, like the sub-plots in the earlier Honor Harrington novels.
The thing is, you can't map 200 meter long spacecraft in a one inch grid without some finagling...
My solution for this design is repetition. The central broadsides, for example, are made of 30 meter armored sections with missile bays, turrets, sensors etc. Repeated in a regular arraignment. Of course, it is much easier to show you... so below are links to my preliminary work. I'd love to know what everybody things - both about the plans, and the concept itself.
