Buffalo Chips! I was actually quoting Potter. ALthough I see no reason why orders from G2 and G3 making a G5 combined field officer op-tech glitch couldn't make a corporal-captain.
I used that term because it is standard practice to call the commander of a ship "The Captain" regardless of rank.

What about instead of a captains console, something halfway between that and those gooseneck thingies from The Cage? The TMP slide out consoles are a great idea as well, as they allow more multi-role ability from each station.

(And also, Shik, the bit where the engineer etc sit on the Jacuzibridge would double as a bar, for the doctor to make his martinis.)

Looking good, though I'd remove the roll-outs from the Comms station for a bit of asymmetry, perhaps make #14 a standing only station too. If you want a more logical layout try:-
09 - Probe Control 10 - Astrometrics 11 - Engineering 12 - Comms 13 - Planetary Science 14 - Aux Systems
That way all Ships Operations stations are to the Captain's left and all Mission Operations are to the Captain's right.

Cool. I'm taking a week off, so I won't be able to work on this for a little bit. But by the time the 3-d model is ready, I'll definitely have this done.

Yah, the shaft crawlway could probably stand to be a little bigger. It was fine until I enlarged the turbolift a little.
So what have we got here... looks like 9 decks. How would that deck in the narrow part of the saucer be classified? I would tend to call it part of the deck below it, since there will probably be places where stairs woould take you up half a level. That seems more likely than steps leading down from the deck above.

That wouldn't be consistent with what we've seen of turbo shafts to date. Besides, speaking as someone who used to build lifts, that would be a particularly dangerous thing to do.

So who wants to do internal blueprints?
Well it might be a little while for me to finish off a 3D model, as I'm having troubles with my PC. Ive reinstalled windows and all my apps, but I still have some stability issues, and running memtest seems to point to the fact that my memory might be on the way out.
Just looking at that cross section. That's an escaped pod located behind the bridge turbo lift shaft, right? Does the escape pod have grav plating? As if the escape pod is oriented that way, I can see it being a struggle for the crew to get into. With the pods grav plating on, and having to go from one grav field to another to get in. Or having the grav plates off and relying on the ships grav plating and have to "climb" into the front of the pod. Or with the pod having no grav plating in that area, and once the pod is full and everyone seated, activating the grav plating. Any which way it would add another time factor into getting into the pod quickly.

That area could be a "Sweet Spot" like on NX-01. The area would only have to be a few metre's wide. Or, you can consider how they got into the Phoenix in First Contact. Actually, I believe that modern day space shuttles have seats that swing so that they can be sat in when the ship is verticle,( please, someone who is familiar w/ the space program correct me if I am wrong) so, for a dedicated bridge escapr pod, I see no reason why that technology could apply.

The crew count is completely random, I must admit.
