Add more Maints dead space to the Horizon (Wait No Listen)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Was reading about people talking about how construction on the SCCV Horizon just isn't nearly as rewarding as it was on the NSS Aurora: there, it felt naturally building into existing rock vs. on the Horizon: bolting stuff onto the exterior of the ship feels weird and wrong and is out of the way and awkward. The objective here is to provide the Horizon with a few ready-made compartments (connected to and considered part of the Maints network) that are large enough to justify building custom rooms in for a shift, and integrated naturally into the ship's floorplan and traffic lanes to encourage people to use them.

Because ALL of my ideas have to have something to do with Engineering- why can't we satisfy a request to build a dance floor for the bar? Or a secret 'special' interrogation room for Security? Or a specially-designed experimentation platform for Science? Or secondary warehousing for Ops or Mining? Or a monitoring station for Command? Or a combined hydroponics/jungle-themed dining room for the Chef? Or a speakeasy that isn't in the ass-end of the starboard wing? Or anything?

TL;DR, add or convert certain rooms or compartments to be large, open Maints areas. For example: When's the last time you saw two groups of people independently using both Holodecks? Replace one of them with  dead space, and don't hate me. I attached doodles of examples of what walls look like. Straight up just big square-ish chunks of maints to build in for people.

Thanks for attending my talk.

I see both those boothes used semi regually, and both holodecks not as much - but again, they are used. They are prime roleplay spaces, and if something was to be taken out it should not be them.

I agree that more space is good, though there *does* already exsist multi spaces which beg to be converted and in the rare instance where such works are done, are. These include the secret D2 bar, both nacelles, the massive empty space behind D2 sec, the former crew arm, the former RUST(?) engine space. Additionally, there is nothing stopping convertion of a holodeck right now anyway.
