thanks!
I think there is a lot to be said for cramped-space designing too. If done
well, efficiency can be just as impressive IMHO. However, ever since I was
a wee lad I have wanted to build massive space ships like we have all seen
in movies etc... As a fellow cap ship builder I'm sure you understand that
desire :)
Bigger is not necessarily better, but it does afford one the opportunity to
include more neato stuff in a design, so I am always trying to build as
large as my accumulation allows.
Also, a cruise ship demands large open spaces, so it was a natural thing for
me to try. I love all the military ships that are being made, especailly
the huge ones, but they don't lend themselves well to the stuff that I
wanted to do right now. I think that's why my first capship, The Elegance,
failed. I was making it like a military ship, but I kept forcing cruise
ship details and esthetics on it.
sorry, that's enough babble because all your base are belong to us!!
zig!

True. I found that out trying to build the lavatories on the first carrier
(wish I took more pictures).

Yep, that's the main variable.

I guess you gotta figure the practicality of it. It could still be a
military ship (like Star Trek stuff) but also serve as an exploration
vessel. Your choice to make a leisure vessel was perfect. It showed off your
building style and eye for detail. I think my next ship will serve no
military purpose, just so I can have a stab at more gracious interiors! :)
