Sturn's Deck Plans (previously named 'May I post a.....')

S

Sturn

Banded Mongoose
I completed my own Type S Scout deck plan based on the MGT tonnages. Would it be bad taste or upsetting to Mongoose to post a link here due to MGT already previewing their own deck plan?

I'm not trying to make any point at all, just want to share my work and get flamed, I mean critiqued, about how good or bad my plans are. :)
 
I was looking for someone official to give me an ok? I didn't want the upset the powers that be.
 
Yes, but he doesn't want to upset anyone or look like a criticism of their deckplans in light of the thread criticising the official ones. He wants it to be taken as, "hey look at this cool thing I made", not "you guys suck, this is how it's done".

Thanks Tathlum, this is exactly what I meant.

I'd like to see it, too. I don't think anyone will take is as being critical of MGT deckplans (especially now that we're asking to see it!).

It sucks! :wink:

There now no one can say you were trying to out do the ship design from Mongoose, who only enhanced the ship design from Classical Traveller (CT).

P.s. I would still like to see it. :D
 
Almost 24 hours since I posted and no one has told me not to so my link is below.

Note this is my first ever AutoREALM deckplan so please be gentle if you can! I hope to improve as I do more.

Please read my notes when looking at the plans which may answer your questions of why I did certain things.

Scout (survey/courier models)

I completed the Seeker in AutoREALM, but have'nt exported it to PNG or created the webpage yet. I actually like it better then my survey and courier versions since I had fun making the ship seem capable of actually gathering and processing ore. I will get it up by tomorrow night?

I really like this. I like what you have done and think it could be a fun change from my normal one.

Well Done.

Congratulations, your plan look super detailed and very useable. Can't comment on the grid scale as I'm not a math nerd (and don't care enough).

If I were going to make one comment, and it's a tiny comment, I would like to see a side view of the ship.

That looks pretty much like the original Scout/Courier published by GDW. If I remember correctly, the scale then was that each square side was 1.5m.

Yes I tried to make it look like the CT version as much as I could while correcting tonnage errors and adding MGT stuff (see my notes before the plans).

Yes it's 1.5m scale. I thought that was given for most of us. I didn't put it on the plans themselves (might if I make a more printable PDF version someday), but it's in the notes on the webpage.

The 'outter' squares average 1.5x1.5x1.5, while the 'inner' squares average 1.5x1.5x3 (standard). I did this to reflect the wedge shape of the ship. 1 ton per 4 for the fuel and gray spaces, 1 ton per 2 squares for most of the inner stuff (a few exceptions of sloped ceilings in the notes).

Wow, that's excellent!
 
I really like it too!

One small nit.

Could you number the compartments and show them on your descriptions?

Not a big deal for this ship layout, but if you get bigger ships, things could get confusing.

Great Job!

I might with another version, but I made these with a thought in mind that someone might wish to scale them and print them out. I didn't want a person to "walk" onto the bridge with his miniature, and say "Hey why is there a large #1 printed on the floor?" I had some numbers placed, but thought it was distracting to the plans.

If I make a printer-friendly "handout" PDF version of the webpage (1 or 2 pages?), I will probably have it number-coded.
 
Nice one Sturn, sir! :)

If I had one small niggle, would be that the stateroom's heads are bigger than my whole bathroom. At 10' by 5' there's enough room for a hot tub! ;)
