Since I am still unable to recall my dreams, which I am now convinced is related to constant tiredness / headaches, I figured I'd do something else.
I remember there being a thread on DV about dream cartography and thought it would be a cool idea to try and remember the layout of Destiny and draw the schematics.
Destiny is a recurring story-arc in my non-lucid dreams: Click Me
I can recall most details surprisingly well, and it turned out quite alright.
I don't think I'd be able to do this for something like Haven though.
Anyways, here's the schematics:
- Fully pressurized / breathable sections are green
- Engineering components and unpressurized sections or sections without air recycling are red
- Fluid containers are blue
- FTL / Hyperdrive system is orange
- Deck-to-deck connections are pink
- Outer hull sections are grey
Habitation Deck: Link
Not shown are desks installed during ftl.
This is where the crew was most of the time.
Engineering Deck: Link
This is where I spent most of the time, either idling in the cockpit or doing maintenance on various components in the engineering section.
Payload Deck: Link
The lowering platform was never installed due to time pressure, and it wasn't clear what it should look like.
Ideally the entire payload bay ground should be able to be lowered.
The idea was to be able to lower big objects onto the ground after landing on other planets / moons, or deliver payloads into space.
Size compared to the NASA Space Shuttle: Link
Wingspan:
- Shuttle: 23.79m
- Destiny: 79.5m
Length:
- Shuttle: 37.24m
- Destiny: 64.5m
Gross Liftoff Weight:
- Shuttle: ~109t
- Destiny: ~470t (no payload)
I kinda feel like making a 3d model of destiny now, but I haven't modeled in quite some time and I'm not sure I'd be able to.
