The ready room could be moved to a different side of the bridge, say the port side aft, which is actually where I thought it was supposed to be. It could also be lowered a bit below the deckline and we'll just say there's emergency battery compartment or something underneath it. It also occurs to me that this probably would have been a problem even if I had stuck with the Sovereign class module as it has much the same slope on the front. In short, I don't redesigning the entire bridge module is necessary. There's obviously plenty of room in there and it may just be a matter of rearranging the compartments a little differently. |

The ready room is already at a lower elevation from the main bridge (about 3 feet lower) and I'd hesitate to drop it any lower than that- unless the captain just loves getting the exercise of climbing a full flight of stairs just to get to the bridge.  I'm willing to wait and see what Sean can come up with for a deckplan. Chances are very good that he'll knock all our socks off- I mean, when does he NOT?  |

Everything just starts hoppin! :-)  I love the discussion so far and agree with the design team all the way... I really felt this way for a little while (during Jay's 4 month honeymoon- LOL), but was reluctant to reflect this to the team because I wasn't the one doing the work, you know. This has come quite a ways from my 1996 posterboard bridge plan, which I don't think we even have anymore... at any rate, however and whoever does whatever... it is appreciated and will be worth it all, I'm sure you can see that by now. USS Grandeur-A has attracted a lot of attention on several fronts and I believe it is a blessing from all of the hard work all of you have contributed! Before all of this even started, Grandeur was involved in a strong, moral mission to help real world communities and families... making the Dream of hope a reality to so many who had lost theirs. I believe that when you sew kindness and love to those in need... you reap blessings like this...There are so many cool things in the works and it is only getting better as the days go on! |
