The Blue Smoke: Yacht Design

[aramis]

For a deckplan 2d profile square?

2.5 feet per square? I went with 1.5m per square, or a 5' by 5' square, as the deckplan is getting blown up to Snapshot size. The deckplan square of course assumes that the square is actually a rectangular mass box.

Im confused by the many interpretations of the mass volume business. That's why when something is a Ton, its a Square. it seems to work out proportionaltely to the body markers.

So is a rectangular shape 2.5 feet square at its base and top, and five feet high a ton? That seems wierd. How would headroom clearance be resolved without 3 meter cielings?

The Traveller displacement ton is defined as 14 cubic meters.

1.5x1.5x1.5=2.25x1.5=2.25+1.125=3.375 cubic meters per 1.5m cube

2 cubes is thus 6.75 cubic meters
4 cubes is thus 13.5 cubic meters, or just shy of a ton-displacement.

Now, in TNE, the 2m squares
4 sq meter x 3.5 =12+2=14

BTW, a 1.5m measure is 4" 10.7" feet or so.

2m is 6' 6.5" or so. 3m is 9' 9.7" or so

I have to admit that when I do deck plans for TNE craft I still prefer to use the 1.5m grid and adjust the movement rates given in the rule book to coincide.

So a hallway is 3 meters wide? A 4-ton stateroom is 8 deckplan squares?

I think I started doing 1 square = 1 ton after Traders and Gunboats, which showed some staterooms as being 4 squares on some ships, so I went with that.

So is the deckplan scale 10' per square (3m per side, or 9.81 feet?)

The Baron is going to need a golf cart for his Cabin, and the Hydro bays are going to need tractors!

Nope. 4'9" squares. 2 per Td.

Half the SR's 4Td is in commons space.

Ok, I'd suggest he invest in a BobCat to tool around in.
:devil:

Since the square grid scale used for deck plans is 1.5 meters squares, a ceiling height of three meters means that two floor squares, extended floor to ceiling equals four 1.5 meter cubes or about 14 cubic meters (1.5x1.5x1.5x4=13.5 cubic meters), or one ton. If a 100-ton ship were mapped as a one-level square, it would have two hundred grid squares within.​

Standard SRs are shown as 6 squares, and small as 4, with the remaining space as corridors.

hmm. Ugh. Edits.

Well, ill cut the furniture to half scale, and let everyone enjoy the room. I think I might have actually done 2 per ton back in the day. not sure when or why I might've forgotten. Im going to keep the control stations, Autodocs, and Medtable sort of largish.

Was this the snag that happened with the Mongoose Deckplans? Wasn't too clear on what was up with that.

yeah, can't trust Mongoose's deckplans. there was a thread all about it. the artist who did the plans didn't understand the 2 square=1 ton rule, so built everything half size. can't blame him too much after all the bad deck plans I've seen over the years.

 

[The Hinterworlds Rambler]

Do you have a link to that thread, Macca? I need to study up before High Guard comes out, and I start the next gen deckplans using the Mongoose ruleset.

It's so sexy!

She looks smashing, brilliant, freaking awesome!

That's one gorgeous ship, excellent work Starwright Saarthuran, and compliments to the SHDC.

Had to drop in and peep the plans and give a public kudos to ya.
