Here is an overhead view of the command are of the Prophesy.



The area is on the bottom floor of the command module and has a higher ceiling that the rest of the ship, with area being taken from the 2nd floor. The floor area between the rail and the back railing is elevated half a meter above the rest of the room. There are both ramps and steps to the elevated area. The back rail is just about at the center of the module. The main screen is 2 meters high and 4 meters wide. The Con1 and Con2 chairs are at floor level so they do not obstruct the view of the screen. Along the rail are six touchscreen control panels. The command seats at the rear of the area are tall chairs with foot rails. Like really plush leather bar stools. They have touchscreen control panels that fold out of the right arm. The left arm has stowage space for notebooks and such.

There are three of these areas on the ship, all in the command module. This is the only one that is typically staffed with Con operators.

We are going to have a never ending twisting view infront of us.

We should add a picture counter-rotater to give us a nice flat and optional view so as to prevent the rotaion at times.

Just a little suggestion I want to float. There doesn't seem to be any concensus on how the modules tie together or how we get to the hub. so How about this. It keeps in line with the original ship design by BD.



The rings are connected by fore and aft running sections that pass between the module ends. Each deck of the module has a door at each end in to this section, you can either cross straight ahead in the next module of the same ring, or walk down the corrider to another ring. At the end of each of these sections is an elevator that will take you to a different deck.

On the eft side of this diagram note that the elevator goes down one more level. This allows access (via airlock) to a tram that runs up and down the snorpler tube that ties the rings to the axis. ( This diagram only shows the one leading to the cargo bays. There are three sections that have also have trams to the engine area. )

The diagram show rings 1 & 4 in transparency to show to help illustrate the layout.

Man, now you're just showing off

The prophesy is being built pretty well!

Would it be to much to ask for some dimensions with those Schematics? Scales that kind of thing.

The hab sections are about 50 meters long at thee bottom and ten meters wide and deep. The connecting sections would be about 2.3 meters thick at the inside and 2 meters thick at the inside. The ones in the picture are thicker but we could jog the length of the sections or the diameter of the ship to compensate for that.

No need, I went back and modified the drawing. I thinned down the connecting sections, added the snorfler cable and the next ring in, and changed to a starry background. I also beefed up the lighting realism a bit.
