Using the basic schematic, or Master Situation Montior/Diagram provided by Starship Creator, warp 2, I've editted out the 'interiors', and have begun designing my own. I've gotten torpedo systems from the Sovy-Class Schematic in Captain's Chair, as well as Engineering from VGR, and the bridge, well, from something that was posted here. Everythings been a bit re-modeled, re-sized, re-shaped and so forth. What I am requesting is this - any other Master Situation Monitor/Diagram you have, in a size large enough so that one deck is about 32 pixels in height. In other words, pretty damn big. =) If you'll check a topic called "27th century coaxial warp drive prototype", I need things about as big as that bridge. =)
I would really appreciate anything you can give me, and will be sure to post the finished product for everyones review, and, enjoyment. =)

My prototype msd used graphic elements from the Dauntless, Sov, Voyager, and some original stuff by me. The dauntless msd can be found in the Star Trek Enyc as a shockwave drawing.

Here's a MSD I did a while back for my Titan class using JUST Microsoft Paintbrush. It's a tad grainy because I saved it as a JPEG, but the origina Bitmap version is actually very good looking.
I'm attempting right now to create a Cutaway for my Type-12 shuttlecraft (rather hard to d, actually).

Hmmmm, for the most part I've used only Voyager's MSD from the Captain's Chair CD to make any MSDs for other ships (so far I've done the Prometheus (may have been seen by many of you on online reference sites and simming websites, disastrously, without accreditation - it sucked anyway in comparison to my later works), Miranda, Enterprise's Captain's Yacht, Delphin, Paladin/Shrike, Falcon, Fed Scoutship, some shuttles - from trek, and the Whitestar from Babylon 5... I can't remember the others)
Anyway, I was replying to this topic to suggest taking a deeper look into the Intrepid-Class MSD in as clear an image as possible - if you get the color basics from a cleared up version of the rooms you can get pretty far through just drawing the lines for what you're looking for (I've made a crew lounge from scratch, cloaking device, slipstream control room, enlarged crew quarters for the senior staff, holodecks, arboretums, the type 11 shuttle, and a couple other miniatures for MSDs), oh and this part's probably the most important...if you have layering capabilities in your painting program, put it to good use - one for deck outlines, under that would be the deck interiors, over it all the ship's hull, over the hull the LCARS, and all the way on the bottom any decorations for the surrounding space for the ship. It can take forever to do, say, an 11 deck starship - but the result, IMHO, is comparable to Okuda's work as displayed in varied resources.

Hey Leo...any chance you would show those other MSD's here? I really liked the Prometheus MSD; it looked better than the actual one.

I'd love to... except by now it almost seems pointless. The few I threw out on the web scarcely got accredited, and even though in some places I went around and offered the people using my image the updated versions 'with' credits, they refused to use it and even claimed it as theirs... so, sorry if I'm skeptical about it, but at this rate I'd rather e-mail people the msds and make sure one by one that if they were used, that the credits stayed... I'll even 'do' new msds for people given patience and whatnot... just really under my terms.
