On the outside its the dark grey functionality of the 'Sulaco', but with more of the gothic-baroque. The spine corridor of the Maiden is inspired by that long corridor connecting the crew quarters and engineering section of the Event Horizon. Beyond that the Maiden is a combination of old large-gun battleship, aircraft carrier, supertanker/container ship. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2012/06/04/maiden#c3240 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:20:57 +0000 agenthaxtes c3239@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ And it gives us a Gothic feel, a large dark launch bay and the unused tech-priest rooms with old pipes and machines...cool http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2012/06/04/maiden#c3239 Tue, 31 May 2011 18:49:17 +0000 tancred c3234@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Yeah, you can even speak to her :) After adding more detail to the ship I'm thinking the old launch bay/former tech-priest research lab is a good spot for the secret Inquisition hideout. It's close to the bridge and crew quarters, yet easily concealable. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2012/06/04/maiden#c3234 Fri, 27 May 2011 13:53:40 +0000 agenthaxtes c3228@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Nice Note :) Good too have a idea of the size and capability of the Maiden. We do spend a fair bit of game time on her. She has become an important team member. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2012/06/04/maiden#c3228 Fri, 27 May 2011 13:38:24 +0000 tancred c3227@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ To get an idea of the scale of the Maiden: Take one Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The Maiden is twice as long (plus another half Nimitz in engines and beaky bow). It's twice as broad - and we're taking the flight deck here. It's a little taller than its broad, about twice as tall as the Nimitiz is, keel to antennae. So that's about 8 Nimitzes++. Now take the biggest supertanker you can find and roll it into a ball. Then jam six such balls into the side of the 8 Nimitzes++. That's one Maiden for you. No start imagining the amount of rooms and corridors and square and quick meters and pipes and cables and...you could spend a lifetime on board and not know everything! http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2012/06/04/maiden#c3227
