    Seems like a lot of life pods.  Does this represent one long life pod that is accessible from all decks?  Or are they separate pods and there are so many due to the crew size?

    Some of the deck pictures are overlapped with other decks.  I used you Serena Dawn deck plan for SF0 and don't mind printing a separate page for each deck.

    I like the deck plans your tool makes.

    Decks overlap intentionally and I like to make sure that the elevator and ladder well and even the engineering chase (usually a conduit sandwitched in next to the elevator and ladder well for wires, pipes and what not) all line up If I do 2 elevators they will line up. As for the life pods there are only 5 (HS 5 ship) and I depict them with 4 seat to ensure there is enough life vehicles for every person on board- the work pod is usually the designated life pod for the engineer too. No they're just at each deck that they appear on and the passenger deck has just a life boat for the paying passengers.

    I'll be adding the MS defense system and renumberin the decks and putting in consoles and furniture

    I keep thinking that I should redesign it with more conduits and power relays so that a GM can specify that a shot from a pirate came in on Frame 123 and blew power relay 7A- until its repaired or the power rerouted the radar is down etc.

    What I was referring to is that you have two decks rendered on a page and one deck obscures some of the other.  I remember the escape pods being obscured on a couple of the pages.

    Ahhh I was just trying to cram decks in together and figured I could overlap the escape pod as its not very important (If it should become important, you're probably done using this deck plan).

    I now have 4 decks to populate with furniture and consoles but the observation cupola has been added and a new deck #8 with life support and masking screen

    I had an idea on the overlapped escape pods.  Include a detached escape pod or two for cutting out and overlaying the deck currently in use when it is obscured by another deck.

    Yeah that first sheet is getting packed with the cupola on it now so very likely I'll do a little cut and paste and re-arrange the decks on different sheets as some feel empty with lots of white space
