A question of style

All Art critics,
I have a new deck plan but a few questions.
* Should a deck plan have large machinery in the engineer spaces or is a note that this room is engineering good enough?
* How about the Low Berth room? a note or filed with symbols?
* Is a deck plan better with a numbered key or with labels?

I have been doing deck plans for 40 years and I must say I have for most of that time done plans with equipment other furnishings, but I am not sure.

Looks great.

I like it. It makes it more than just an empty hulk, and the walls, bulkheads, and hatches really 'pop'.

Oh, one nit.

It's "PassEnger"

A final version (maybe) of the Empress class as a free trader.
I have all of the furniture as transparencies and I also changed the numbers to be transparent as well.
What do people think?

I think it looks great. I like how it turned out.

My question is, why doesn't the cargo area appear on both decks? Wouldn't it make more sense to have the cargo area be taller? The rest of the components can easily be reworked.

Structural integrity. Smaller cargoes are much more common, and it's easier to work with them on multiple floors than to stack them. Wall Paper only comes in 10 foot rolls, so the taller walls would not work. Large, open spaces spook the passengers.

All sorts of reasons.
