I mentioned that I was going to be shifting up the layout of the Peerless and, well, I did. Some rooms have been changed but I might have gone a bit crazy and... doubled the number of decks the ship has. The new info can be found here.
I ended up doing this for several reasons, among them:
1) Our crew has ballooned with all the NPCs and we were already out of space and doubling up with those numbers. We needed more places to bunk. The common rooms were also seeming in adequate for such numbers.
2) The Peerless is a HUGE ship. It didn't seem right to not have more decks. Even Serenity has two decks and we're much bigger than she is.
3) Just from "eye-balling" the pictures of the ship it makes sense to have at least these two more decks. Otherwise there is just tons of wasted space and windows to nowhere.
4) Some things like the core being off to one side didn't make much sense and needed to be reworked. I was also getting requests/complaints/suggestions for certain amenities we simply didn't have room for.
So yeah, I hope everyone likes the new layout and isn't completely overwhelmed. The intent is to help with ship RP so you can better know where you are, where other people are in relation, how to get from A to B, etc.
Two final things:
1) You need to claim your rooms again. Feel free to pick the same one as before if you like.
2) There are now tons more areas than there are RP boards for the ship. I'm going to work on that eventually but try and make do in the meantime.
