Starship deck plans, first draft

Subject: Starship deck plans, first draft

Well, I haven't had as much time to work on the macro-starship idea as I
would
have liked, but I did get some work done.  As stated, I'm starting with
a Falke
class scoutship and then I'll work my way up to the destroyer in time.	

I've decided to go with 1/2400 scale.  It's an arbitrary choice, but
seems to
work.  I went about measuring the miniature in mm and then multiplying
by 2400
to find the 'real world' size.	Then I can scale however I want after I
draw up
the plans.  

Before I do much more drawing, I wanted to run my compartments through
the list
for review.  This list came from some scouring of the fleet book (mostly
the
back section)  So far, everything on this list can fit in my hull.

- Bridge
- Engineering
- Galley (very small)
- Crew Quarters (3 bunks for 5 ratings)
- Officer's Quarters (2 bunks for 2 officers)
- Captain's Quarters 
- Airlock
- Escape pod

Thoughts?

Tom
