[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb] Freehand was purchased by Adobe, so will probably be phased out eventually in favor of Illustrator. That's life! The blend tool is very, very useful. Sure the appearance of a blend can be approximated by a combination of objects with various gradients, but using a blend tool is so much easier. [/qb][/QUOTE]Tell me about it! I'm still using PSP X because 5 mins using XI told me Corel had completely fudged it or sacked most of the old Jasc people that were probably still around when PSP X was made. I've always had difficulty finding my way around Photoshop and Illustrator (compounded in the latest version by ultra low contrast menus) and there's nothing more irritating than not being able to use the keyboard shortcuts for vector node editing that I've been habitually using for years. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] Very nice deck plans so far. What bridge have you stuck in there? Is it the Grissom's or something you made? [/qb][/QUOTE]It's the TMP Enterprise that I rearranged based on the one or two screen caps I could find. I'm almost certain the Fact Files did one of their 3D illustrations for Grissom, but for some reason nobody seams to have scanned it. [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] Anyway, here's that roughed out cross-section and a a basic layout of how I'm thinking the shuttle & cargo bays are arranged.[/qb][/QUOTE]At the back of the rectangular section that is behind the 'saucer' - where the impulse engine is... along that back edge looks like overlapping, sliding doors. I reckon prime place for cargo doors, rather than shuttlebay doors - seeing as there are already 'shuttlebay'-looking doors around the saucer rim. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, as you can see on the dorsal plan that's where I have the main cargobay access. I'm not convinced by having the shuttles in the saucer, as it doesn't make sense to me to crowd an already crowded primary hull. At the moment I have them down as either docking ports and/or airlock to smaller cargo bays. Just more evidence that the model builder thought this was going to be much bigger than it was portrayed.
