Delta Station

Post by Okand37 » #192287

Not much to say really, I decided to start mapping a station for real after messing around for a while to get a feel of it. Started on arrivals and made this, separating customs into a command area leaving the security post as a processing center (replaced ID console with prison, customs has med data + id + crew)

If you made it so the checkpoint could become mandatory, à la Papers Please, that would be pretty nifty.

A start on atmospherics, including atmospherics very own supermatter shard engine to even the odds between atmospherics and engineering as departments.

A little bit too much use of warning lines. If you want to make the borders of your room look more interesting, put departmentally themed tile colors down, like blue/white for medbay or red/grey for security. Warning tiles everywhere where they're not needed is kind of ugly.
Apparently I was an director or something.

I can definitely tone down the use of caution lines, but most of the areas shown are secure areas or caution areas. Areas where loading/unloading or engineering work is done (ie; arrivals and atmospherics.) I definitely like to try and add spice to things, but it probably isn't great that the only areas I've made available sofar are the main areas with warning stripes.

Try adding the lines exclusively where the actual work is being done?
Generally this means: in front of airlocks.
Department-specific for, say, Cargo this means: in front of the shuttle dock, conveyors, and MULE parking spots.

Caution lines, in reality, are to mark dangerous areas apart from safe ones. In a professional workshop, you will see them surrounding the machinery and other places you should avoid being unless you are doing work and have appropriate protection. In the same vein, you should arrange your tiles such that they mark the 'work area' of the dangerous machinery in Atmos. They should mean "If you are standing here, you need to have protection and be paying attention else you will get hurt.".

I'd really like it if the SM shard had a mass driver and blast doors to space for you to "safely" get rid of it in case it goes nuclear and wild so it doesn't break up inside.
Though, that doesn't mean you couldn't leave room for sabotage, like say, put the blast doors on a separate APC - one snip to the environmental and those doors ain't opening.

I was thinking about doing that, but it is something I'd add in when I am mapping maintenance around the area, just to see how I need to make it to fit it properly.

Arrivals/departures generally have a 'standard' look to them across the maps, although slightly altered by each mapper generally. Take dream and meta for other examples.

EDIT: Haven't been able to update pictures because my DM went nuts and I had to spend a good six or so hours to recover my map, which I am now having to piece together onto a different map due to broken code. Woo.

I haven't been doing a good job at keeping pictures up, so here's a preview of the bridge area so far! The basic layout of the entire map is more or less up, if you'd like to see a specific area feel free to ask!

Image
Bridge includes command center, command chair, council chambers, head of personnels office and bedroom, gateway, E.V.A., teleporter, E.V.A. storage, gravity foyer, gravity generator, telecommunications and telecommunications monitoring, captain's office and captain's quarters with an emergency exit!

Nitpick alert!

The tables in the corner of the bridge will be unusable due to the computers. More critically, telecommunications is entirely too secure, unless you added windows along the south walls the lead to space (or make that space area into maint)

As per the tables, it was on my list to swap the table and computer placement so both could be used, but it seems I forgot... thank you for reminding me! I can definitely do windows that look out into the area between telecommunications and E.V.A.

On the topic of things with the letters b r i g in them, here's some previews of the brig and surrounding security areas!

Image Prison wing includes three long term cells and a prison area, a 'sanitarium', a 'processing' center and an escape pod.

Image
Security includes a fairly basic security design consisting of primary halls, a security desk, three standard cells, a gear room, warden's office, armoury, E.V.A, contraband, interrogation room and viewing, HoS' office (including Lia, the carp!) and bedroom, gulag transferring center, gulag receiving center, and medical bay. Outside of the security area includes a law office complete with a more fleshed out courtroom, and a detective's office right across the hall. The morgue is located nearby for convenience.

I like it! It reminds me of a sleek office building. OfficeStation13 anyone?

Not sure if I like the upper part of the bridge though - it's very hallway-esque. Maybe you could move the telecom lobby down and expand the bridge in that area?

you could push everything back like 6 tiles and put the teleporter between atmos and telecomms and somehow connect it to everything else

Pictures will unfortunately likely be grinding to a halt, as my most updated copy of deltastation has gotten corrupted and I didn't have any backups (silly me.)
I'll be redoing some of the map, but expect some areas to change. Security and the bridge will remain similar.

It really sucks, but at the least it opens up some opportunity to change things around, and I'll be able to more easily incorporate a few minor areas I didn't have space for (auxiliary mining base, for example.)
Now that I've really figured out how to set up everything from access to cameras to areas to power and so forth, it shouldn't take me nearly as long to get areas working back up especially when I already have a rough idea of how I had it all. I'll also be making sure to save backups regularly from now on.

To my great relief (and perhaps some of yours) I've managed to find a random copy I had floating around in a file completely absent named. While it was before I started working on atmospherics or decorating, the layout is still existent! Hurray!
With the new bridge design I was working on earlier, I've had to scoot down some of the station (cargo, civil, departures, chapel) but in turn have been able to add room for a proper gateway and the auxiliary mining base platform! Still have a lot to work to do what with needing to do atmos, the power grid, and other mechanics (doors, cameras, airalarms/apcs, etc) but we're well on our way to recovery.

Its the gulag teleporter. I was thinking of putting an implanter in the re-education chamber, but I have to think about whether how much it would be abused or not.

Medical is coming along nicely! You may be curious as to why the medical in this photo looks very different than the corner you can see in the top left of the security photo, and that is because I am redoing it entirely to make it more unique and in tune with the style of the map.
