Size really does matter...

[far-trader]

I've seen the AHL in electronic format. I wonder if it would somehow be easy to just "count squares" using the computer rather than by hand.

I've got it right here, but the computer isn't accepting voice interface commands and the keyboard (how quaint) doesn't seem to have that function. Which are just excuses to avoid the tedium of the chore because it doesn't much interest me :smirk:

But, my curiosity is edging up, so I've opened the files and am proceeding to do the count...

...in spare moments and as long as I can stand it (where's a Bwap when you need one... *). It may take a while...

* In their place doing their part of course so where's the Bwap who's place and part is this... and you better not be thinking it's me :rofl:

Rather than further clutter this thread with the off topic matter of the AHL Deckplan accuracy question I've created a new thread for it here:

There's pretty much a set of official deck plans for every official design.

Hardly, S4...

Most of Sup9 ship's lack deckplans. They constitute almost half the designs in CT canon.

Thanks Aramis, that's pretty much what I meant - there aren't those many CT ships even if you re-plan them all.
And by the time you've reverse-engineered the existing plans to see whether they are correct, you could have made your own that you know are correct.
Add in the fact that I started deckplanning my own ships before I got Supp 9...
I play fast and loose with Canon anyway.

Ignoring the (largely) pointless exercise of deckplans for any ship over 5000tons let's qualify S4's statement to 'most useful CT canon ships' do have deckplans. Useful being ships that PCs are likely to have, use and encounter at a level where deckplans are helpful.

Yes.

On the other hand, if I had a set of really good deckplans for a Tigress, I'd find a way to work them into the game.

I suppose there is that Any nice setting can be a good excuse to build a game around. Now we just need to find a suc... er, suitable artist :smirk:
