Default Re: Battlestar´s Landing Bays

I did some work on the viper hanger design tonight. I'll try to have some concept images tomorrow or the next day.
I am going to try it with the viper hanger below the main landing deck. So far I have the hanger with a 23' total ceiling height, and 18' clearance under the support beams. There is a 10" space between the ceiling and the landing deck surface. The support columns I have in the hanger should be adequate to plausibly give the landing deck proper rigidity.
The elevator shaft is VERY close to the hull, perhaps 1' at the closest point. The elevator itself will have to be less than 18" deep below the floor, but I think thats also plausible.
