    I think plans, especially ship plans are a welcome addition to the site. This looks really good. Just my .02 but especially with plans I get frustrated not seeing the whole page. It's not artsy but something inside me says if I can't see it maybe I'm not understanding it.

    I agree. Anything you can post related to maps is fine. You also posted a starship deck floorplan in your original post. While modern/sci-fi is not quite my cup of tea, I know of many people here who would love to see more non fantasy style maps. And if you scale them(and give some type of permission of course) for use in virtual table tops such as Maptool, that would be even better.

    Oh, I get that ... I'm just trying to figure out if this ("Building/Structure Mapping") is the correct forum for fantasy/low-tech ship deckplans, or if discussion of deckplan technique would be more appropriate in "General and Miscellaneous."

    Oh, I've found the SciFi/Modern Mapping forum, never fear

    They go like this: Show us the maps!

    Ships are structures, so it makes sense to me to put them here.

    On the actual map you can see the whole thing just fine, I promise As noted, this is the wallpaperized version, so the left side is darkened for the sake of the desktop icons.
