@Dark Light This is reasonable and what I concluded as well.

I suddenly got this idea about a Dalentian legend that I just had to type down. GM may decide if that's myth or truth, haha.

Out-of-character, it takes time because I needed to balance Lataniva at least slightly. XD

Yeah, any confusion is my bad guys, I've been saying Command Deck, for the top floor, I think I called it the upper deck on the tour.

We really need some floorplans, and I have the layout all determined and ready to go, but the only program on my computer that I could possibly try and draw them with is your basic Paint. And whenever I try that, it usually comes out very cramped looking, like the war room, armory and cockpit are all way closer to each other than intended. Anyone have a program or site that might help us out a bit?

I think maybe this site will help with that.

@Xandrya It just might! I'll tinker around with it and see what happens!

I would have picked a ship that already had a layout like any from here

@Dark Light That would've been much simpler. But, I got too attached to my own mental image for the ship.

Speaking of, I've been messing around with the site Xandrya shared, and here's the end result of about an hour's tinkering, a rough mock-up of the upper deck, considering that's where 90% of us are right now.

How is it? Would you guys be ok with something like this serving as our official floorplan? I have no idea why it ended up on the bottom of the image, I'd probably try and fit 2 floors per image in the finalized version.

Finally got my character finished, but it's not my best work. However, my computer was recently fried (I'm posting this from a friend's) and I can't repair it for a month or so, so posts will likely be few and far between, and that's if I can even post at all.

@Simple Unicycle Thought you'd forgotten about us! I have 3 comments to make. #1- Is the pistol ballistic or laser? #2- is his armor plated or powered? and #3 We technically have our fill of pilots right now, between Stryker and Tibulus, but I'd have Stryker step down from full-time co-piloting if @Banana doesn't mind sharing the controls! Other than that, I think you're all set!

Which leaves the matter of introduction, and I think that'll be mostly tied into when you'll be able to post. We've shipped out and are on the way to a mission location at the moment. If you're ready to jump in now, we could arrange a slight detour to pick you up. If you'd rather wait on the sidelines until we're a bit closer to ya having your computer fixed up, that'd be fine too, dealer's choice!

@Crossfire
1# Are they beds in the cockpit?
2# I think there's a toilet with no entrance. Damn labourers...
3# does that tool allow for text? It would really help if the rooms were labeled. Is that big circle the elevator or the conference table?

XD but I understand its early stages still, I think it will work well and look good when complete :)

@Dark Light 1- Yup, I figured I'd mentioned that somewhere before, but there are a pair of bunks in the cockpit that fold out from the wall, in case the pilot (or as I guess will be the case moving forward, pilots) need a quick nap. That little stairway icon is meant to be ladders, so the bunks are down out of the way in a little lower area. The cockpit layout was inspired by Firefly when I was thinkin' it up.

2- Damn labourers indeed, they forgot to put a door in the cockpit as well. So henceforth anyone entering or exiting the cockpit need to crawl through the vents

3- I haven't seen anyway to add text yet. Push comes to shove, I could probably import the image to paint and label it using the text tool there without screwin' it up too bad. The circle is meant to be the war room, though in a finalized version it'd probably be more so in the center so there's a hallway to walk around on either side of it, and a second door to accommodate the extra hallway.

For reference in this rough version, from the cockpit back, we've got 6 gunner seats (might be upgraded to 10 if I can lengthen the ship out a bit more) then the emergency ladder, the war room, the stairs and elevator, armory, med bay opposite, toilet, doctor's study opposite captain's quarters, ladder to forward battery opposite.

And hopefully that clears everything up! I'm doubtful I'll have time to sit down and do a more complete version of this, plus the other 3 floors, tomorrow, but sunday/monday for sure

@Crossfire hehe, nope, just procrastination, school and other IRL things. Meant to finish this sooner, but, y'know.
1. Laser.
2. Plated.
3. Well that's a shame, considering this character's whole thing is that he's an 'ace pilot' and all that. If Banana didn't mind and you were okay with it, then I'd like Ace to be the co-pilot. If not, then I'll find a way to rework the character so it makes sense that he's there (because we already have two skilled pilots, so we don't need another one [even if he can outfly both of them]).

Either or is fine with me, though I'd prefer to hold off on introducing Ace until my computer is fixed (which might come a lot sooner than I thought, thankfully).

I'm good with Ace being a pilot. The two big pilots we have could probably switch-off every now and again so the action is distributed somewhat evenly.

So I'm still looking for my non-combat skill/role.

We have 3 pilots and a chef.
Do we have a medic yet?

@Crossfire looks good!

@Dark Light our medic was the Russian, but he's no longer active. I wonder what my role would be, but that's a bit hard being blind and all.

Haha, yeah... Maybe not make the blind person the medic. Or chef. Or pilot. Or cleaner. Or mechanic. You could answer the phone and take messages XP
