[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] "Gee Snay, you look like you might need to take a few endorsements from NASA, Pepsi and Nike to afford the costs of undertaking such a grandious project" Actually I have a few thoughts: Thats a LOT of stuff just for 4 decks...if you compare it to, say the defiant which, is deckwise, quite similar, they seems to only have the bare minimum, much less a gymnasium. [QUOTE] Main Bridge: [/QUOTE]What are you doing for a "viewscreen"? Oh, and don't forget your manual control joystick ;) [QUOTE] Four Officer's Quarters Two officers to a cabin, and a pair of cabins shares a head. Four people for one toilet. Woohoo! Four Crew Quarters You thought that was bad? Eight enlisted to a cabin, and (as above), a pair of cabins shares a (larger) head. So it's only eight guys to a toilet (since there are TWO)! [/QUOTE]sounds like college all over again... :( [QUOTE] Gymnasium A room with mats. Maybe some exercise equipment if I can figure out how to make it. [/QUOTE]Maybe a lego bike or motocycle. For ideas check out [URL=http://guide.lugnet.com/set/9364]this set for reference[/URL]. Its utilizes some equiptment designs you might find useful for your gymnasium or sickbay. Actually to save time I posted more relavent links in the sickbay section below [QUOTE] Science Complex A series of labs for Astrophysics, Stellar Cartography, Planetary Biology and Geology, and ... any ideas? Heh. [/QUOTE]You really cant do too much here can you? Lots of computer consols, some sort of astrometric viewscreen, some containment units, microscopes, etc. [QUOTE] Engineering One of the most important places on any Starship. Now, some of you Techy-minded people should chime in here. There will be a horizontal warp core, two to three decks in height. There will also be a vertical intermix chamber, although it probably won't be very long. Engineering will also include a "dilithium chamber" (i.e., Star Trek II), access to the aux. bridge, and ... heck, I really don't know. Er. Dutronium storage tanks? [/QUOTE]How can something be horizontally and yet still be going vertically 2 or 3 decks?? Also, if the ship is only 4 decks, a warp core that 50-75% the size of the hull in which it is contained seems hella HUGE. [QUOTE] Sickbay ...is going to be very fun. There will be a Main Ward with three to four biobeds, a lab, a surgical suite, and a morgue for all those poor dead security men. [/QUOTE]Check these ideas out (for this and the Gym): [list] [*][URL=http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/9000/9364/9364-06.html]Lego Exercise / Rehab Clinic Idea[/URL] [*][URL=http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/9000/9364/9364-08.html]Lego Ward or Science Lab[/URL] [/list] Not the greatest examples...but they make a good framework to start from. Also, is there going to be some sort of kitchen or food slots/sequencers like we saw/see in TOS/Enterprise? Oh, and I was thinking too....how about something like a computer core?!?! Otherwise is sounds like quite an ambitious project, one that will probably consume the rest of your natural life.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
