General Work in Progess

complete with wood paneling! You are embracing the 70's Classic Traveller and classic home decor styles at the same time :)

(did a quick check and apparently wood paneling was popular from the 50's to the 70's. And growing up, there was a lot of avocado green appliances if I recall, so maybe you can stash a washer/dryer in avocado green in the commons)
 
Washers and dryers are for ashore. That is not panelling, that is the cabintry and the furniture. The furniture is wood, the island countertop is a substance called "Marblelite" same strength as stone at 1/3 the weight.

Wood is a strong, lightweight, easy to work material that is easily repaired or replaced even in very low tech level enviroments. Some woods smell good and will attract passengers, but I use it anyway. And wood is a LOT more homey than plastic or metal.

As for avacodo green, I am looking at more of a harvest gold colors for the crew areas. But it might look good in the passenger areas. Yeah I know the refrigerator is purple right now.. working on that :)

cool. Though I would put washers & dryers in there anyway: some ports may not have public facilities for clothes handling. After a few weeks of wearing the same thing - huh, that explains the high cost of life support: you need really good air scrubbers!

And some passengers, if you have any high passage ones though not likely, may require fresh bedding each day. I usually have a combo unit that washes & dries (and they do exist now) in the commons area.
 
Not a bad idea, but I think I am going to put the washer/dryer on the back burner for now. Could probably put it in a corner of the cargo bay, I like the commons the way it is...

My personal view of passengers is I prefer cargo that didn't complain. But not a bad point.

Yesterday, I started the design of the Freshers for the passenger cabins, laying them out on the floor, and a meter and a half is just shy of 5 feet. It is a lot more space than you would think.
 
Washer/dryers could be part of the refreshers.

By TL 10 or so we'll probably be able to condense a bunchof this stuff.
 
TL-8 air recyclers: Wall covered in ivy, with a few flowers for decoration. Also disposes of some sewage. Karl comes from a family that ran a greenhouse; they bred the stock for sucking down CO2 and pumping out oxygen. Every spring it makes the whole crew area smell nice.
 
From Signal GK:
The stateroom contains a bed, a fresher, entertainment
consoles, and miscellaneous furniture. All basic items in the stateroom collapse
into the floor, wall, or ceiling, when not in use.
the fresher, which includes a multi-function
shower, a toilet, a sink, and a small washer/dryer (for the benefit of middle
passengers). All components fold unobtrusively out of the way when not in use.
The wide range of entertainment activities includes holographic
theatrical productions, video shows, interactive drama, and audio programming.
There are also games (played against the main computer, or against other
passengers). The computer terminal also allows access (on a restricted basis) to
the main computer for data processing, word processing, and library data inquiries.

At first I had thought the Freshers were rather small, but in the process of designing the ones for the ship, I measured out just how big a 1-1/2 meter square is. There is plenty of room.
Not so sure about the "Fold away when not in use" thing, it has to go somewhere, and what space does it hide into? But even if it doesn't, there is still room inside the Fresher footprint.

Washer/dryer is probably a single unit by TL12.

As for the "1950's" decor, the Harriman was build in 1114. But "The Mand who Sold the Moon" came out in 1950 :file_23:
 
Fresher design

Okay first shot at a fresher design:
https://gyazo.com/327200300dff7736e61ff3d796d1bd3b

The Super High Tech Laundry Device (tm) is a single unit that handles both washing and drying. It is on the left with the round front loading hatch.

This is a modular unit, hooks into standard ships power, comms, water and santitary lines. I am wondering how to do a retractable or sliding hatch.
 
Blocking out the Engine Room.

From aft:

From forward:
https://gyazo.com/2456fbe62b83b6171b9e57d74bf6f6b8

The two cylindrical pieces mounted to the forward bulkhead are a pair of motor generators. These are above a series of electrical cabinets which will be the electrical distribution system.

The red cabinets are the fusion plants and jump drive. The Harriman has a dual system for reliablity, redundancy, and reliability.

Still need to do life support,

My math says I need 84 cubic meters for the J drive. 20 for the manuvering and 250 for the power plant
 
Engine Room, Now with Conduits!

Just figured out how to make nice looking conduits.

Obviously the outer and inner hull are not visible in these shots.

Engine Room 3
https://gyazo.com/fe0dce9a23f73f4c700a981961504205

The grey panel in the overhead, underneath the lightning rod is where the rod grounds to the rest of the power system (is there a way for an aircraft to utilize a lightning strike? maybe recharge capacitors for weapons systems or jump grid?) As well as where the jump drive ties into the hull grid.

Two red squares upperleft hand corner are the port ventilation ducts. They will be connected to the atmospheric processor just below.
