Hello. I'm working on a Plumeria-class refit, and will have assorted things I have to discuss/get opinions on. That is the purpose of this thread.
I have a very specific issue to start with. The Plumeria-class has a reputation for being a cramped ship, but this is largely because instead of having a deck-by-deck plan, it has a single view from the side. Because of this, the rooms within it are massively larger than they should be.
So now I need recommendations for educated dimensions and volumes of various rooms. The Plumeria for this, is in these dimensions calculated by analyzing DOGA geometry.
Length: 254 meters
Width: 164 meters (wiki width obsolesced with addition of secondary wings)
Height: 32 meters (25 without turrets)
These are the contents of the old rooms:
When considering the thickness of the ship not represented in this view, some of these rooms are utterly massive, including the MEGAMI's room (which I've had fit in a ship at 4.4m x 4.9m x 1 deck before), the recreation area, the wardroom, the armory, etc. Their size and placement need to be completely re-imagined.
The following are a prototype deck-by-deck view. Green is Deck 1, Yellow is Deck 2, Red is Deck 3, Blue is Deck 4, Cyan is Deck 5, and Purple is Deck 6. The squares are for reference, and are 10 x 10 meters and 5 x 5 meters respectively.
Deck 1
Deck 2
Deck 3
Deck 4
Deck 5
Deck 6
The engines and cannons shown are pretty much spoken for, as is the main gun, but the rest of the ship will likely be rearranged, with critical sections focused in the center of the ship. I need to know what you all think the volume and rough dimensions of the assorted rooms should be. I am definitely expanding the shuttle bay, and have widened the belly of the vessel so there's more volume to work with.
It should be noted that the pylons have sections that are one deck high due to being thickened, but I'd like to keep essential rooms out of those. I have some ideas there though...
