Do they really look 24th century? This supposed to be 22nd century just after the NX Class...I just spotted the 24th century style Jefferies Tube hatches! Like the warning tape - a sensible addition
My Pre TOS ship Deckplans
- Thread starter Admiral Danev
- Start date
Of all the instances I could find, the NX class has round vertical jefferies tubes with ladders. They usually don't have a closeable hatch at all, but in junction behind a horizontal door. I did find one floor hatch though, and I think it was only up in the catwalk of the nacelle.
Broken Bow - sweet spot
Catwalk 1
Catwalk 2
The Crossing - same hatch
Regeneration - junction
But this doesn't mean you can't have different styled hatches. It's not like they're a standard part, they're probably just tailored to each ship (or different locations within the same ship) as needed.

I’ve been playing around with ideas, thinking of having a square/rectangular hatch with VERY rounded off corners.
Just been laying out one of the lowest decks, plenty of cargo space needed.
Yeah the
big doors are inner access doors with an additional door flush with the hull.Do those big doors open to space? Very practical design, if so
Loving those Jefferies Tube hatches BTW, a great blend of industrial and futuristic
I'm so tempted to write a story based on a Daedalus-Class ship now!
Sooooo it’s been a few months since my last post (checks calendar and last post date nervously) but I was rummaging through some old harddrives and came across my long almost forgotten project. I’ve decided to transfer the files into a new program and have been slowly upgrading to a more aesthetically pleasing style that better matches other blueprints. I’ve forgotten how to best upload to this website.

What is peoples opinions on the new look? I sincerely apologise for the long wait.
A bit hard to see details - image size seems limited to 1024x724
Unless I'm doing something wrong?
I have fixed the size issue. What is the best way to get an image uploaded directly to the comment instead of linking it?
From the FAQ thread: The most reliable place is in your own bought-and-paid-for webspace. You can either buy some or use one of the numerous free hosting services, such as imgur.com, tinypic.com, flickr.com or postimage.org.
I know the forum will allow imgur pics to be hotlinked, not sure about the others.
@Admiral Danev, uploading images directly to your posts is actually one of the perks of a premium membership of the board. 
But apart from that, you should also be able to just posts your images from deviantart. It’s difficult to find something official from them on this, but as far as I’m aware they seem to be fine with hot-linking images. So you should be able to just grab an image URL from your dA account (right-click and then “Copy Image URL” ) and insert that into your posts here in-between image tags [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] (without the spaces) or by clicking the
icon.
Alternatively there’s all the options that @B.J. is listing. imgur.com is the one I use myself.

Thanks for that, I was looking at my posts and couldn't work out how I had posted those images.@Admiral Danev, uploading images directly to your posts is actually one of the perks of a premium membership of the board.

I'm still slowly converting my blueprint components to the new program, the sooner I get those done the quicker the deck blueprints will come together.
And again, I considered the idea of adding colour to the blueprints, but for the moment I think it prefer the blue and white traditional look.
I like it, especially the ship trace which helpd give scale to the overall size of the vessel.
Should there be a door on the starboard side of the Bridge? If visitors are coming to the see the captain in his Ready Room you might not want them peeping into the command centre!
It’s something I’ve considered but not come up with a design that I like, especially with the steps also in this area…I like it, especially the ship trace which helpd give scale to the overall size of the vessel.

That raised platform on the Bridge has a lot to answer for!
Here is my latest update, you might notice I added a door to the Bridge and lengthened the passage in this area. Still updating the assets that will complete deck B
