T2-BU11 Draft Deckplans

Please take a look at the preliminary draft deckplans posted in the file library here.

I appreciate any feedback you might be able to provide before I finalize the deckplan. Your comment have greatly improved the boat so do the same for the tender please.

Version 2

I've drafted a second version to incorporate ideas posted in the file library.

Please take a look at the layout here and let me know what you think.

 

[Major B]

Everyone, I'd like to once again thank everyone for their positive comments and suggestions.

One specific note to Vladika - I sent you a PM with a request to email your suggestions to me. Please do. The image available from your home page is too blurry to make out the details.

For everyone else, and update: I'm working on a third draft to the Bull Tender and have also started designing another ship that will be related to the SDB. This is a 10,000 ton bulk cargo ship of the Liberty class, an idea taken from the original design by Clay Bush that can be found by digging into portions of the HIWG CD.

How does this ship relate to the SDB? Well, after I get the ship design done, I plan to make a modified version that carries a flotilla of SDBs - a J3-mobile system defense mercenary command. I hope you like it and find it useful and as always I welcome your commants and criticisms.
