Pull down seats, pull out beds, more communal areas giving more room. Thats exactly what I'm thinking of, and likely what the set designers for Firefly were thinking of. If you wanted a shower you had to go to use the one in the bigger bathroom elsewhere in the carriage, but that obviously took up much less room than needing a shower per cabin.

They don't give the height but let's say it was 2.5 m (that might be a bit tall but what the heck) - the volume for one person with toilet and sink and foldout bed was about 5.4 m³ - much smaller than 1dt. The sink was a tiny one in the corner by the entrance door. The bed was built into one of the walls and pulled down with a handle so that it rested on top of the toilet seat. I had a small cabin for one on a cross-canada train last year, the toilet there was kinda like an airplane loo but it doubled up as a seat (the toilet cover came down and had padding on it so you could sit on it). Great deckplans, despite what they made me think of :) A Virushi or k'kree, on the other hand, is something of a problem. And the fact that most staterooms have separate bathrooms, rather than a communal facility, is another issue.Īs for Aslan catboxes, Vargr's and the neighbors yard and droyne newspapers, I don't think bipedal creatures would have such signficantly different needs that they'd need completely different facilities. Firefly had a pull down type that took very minimal floor space. The amount of space it seems to take up is my issue. My problem with Traveller toilets extends beyond a porcelain throne. Whitestreak does raise a good point but I think a somewhat modified set of standard icons makes for a more interesting deckplan. I am having kittens trying to figure out an Aslan sandbox :)įair enough.

Using standard symbols is easier than trying to figure out how to draw something like that in MS Paint that can be used across different ships. A porcelain toilet doesn't meant that there is an actual china dunny in the room :) I imagine that all furniture and amenities are somehow retractable or modular to make room.
