There really should have been separate door and ladder structures so you can specify specifically where you want connections, including extra wide cargo doorways that occupy two bays.

It's super annoying but there is a work around (kinda) you need to place habs in a specific order where you want your ladders, for instance place the habs leading from your bay to your cockpit where you want ladders but only those habs once that's done you can add the other habs in as the game trys to find the quickest rout from one place to another depending on what gets placed and when but moving a hab after placing will reset it. So usually I'd place the landing bay then connect an engineer hab then on top of that a living area then the control room then the cockpit for example once those are done then I'd place the other habs.

Indeed.

I used a Nova Galactic 2x3 Crew Mess as the central deck for my crew deck. That deck has a 1x2 Control Room form a neck with a ladder at the fore end of it down to the bridge deck. From either side of the 2x3 crew mess is a 1x1 store room leading to a 1x3 and 1x2 all in one and living quarters on either side creating wings. It makes a believable living space for a large crew. The lower bridge deck is workshop, captains quarters and some other 1x3 to extend the neck further. I put an Ares bridge at the end of it. After putting all essentials and decorative structure on that hab structure, I wind up with a very Klingonesque 'Bird of Prey' but with high wings rather than low wings. Looks and works great. I would LOVE to be able to use more habs, but in my experimentation it is simply not possible without creating a truly Effed up mess of randomized doorways and ladders that no human being in their right mind would ever build. That this lack in the build system was not flagged by QA and delt with by Bethesda before shipping is beyond me. It's not like it would have been hard for us to be able to put a flag on ladder and door points to 'force' ladder and door placement where we want it.

In my head (which may be incorrect) all Bethesda would have to do is code it as red light/green light for entry points. We place a Hab then click on the appropriate entry point and change it from white (neutral) to either red or green, the game then does the rest.

Nova is cool, computer room for inventorying and having a digital footprint of ur cargo (lorewise I guess)

What i'm missing in all those modules are truly multi-use rooms geared towards maximum practicality and versatility. They all seem pretty wasteful with the available space, missing out on essential features which should be standard in favor of useless clutter and decorations. Those 2x3 mess hall habs should be the central social space for the ship, not just providing a place to eat, but also to relax and socialize. Don't need much storage space, but at least some entertainment and doubling as a briefing room for a large crew. And a large cargo hold is essential for bigger ships. Wish we'd get such large cargo holds with integrated loading ramp/entry functionality, because it would make most practical sense. To me, it all shows that the Bethesda devs really didn't put that much thought into designing these modules. Also exemplified by the fact that you can't just rotate or mirror every hab module making them that much more versatile. Oh well, modders to the rescue i guess.

100%. While I get the purpose-design behind the Habs, there's so much wasted volume of space in literally every single Hab. I guess HE3 is so abundant 200 years from now and Engines are so powerful that nobody cares that space is at a premium.

Nova Galactic seems geared more towards science vessels. Their cargo bays seem more like a catalog and sorting kind of vibe to them over a store everything here vibe.

@Nonderyon Right! I drive a truck and seeing cargo just stored everywhere like that drives me a little crazy.

RE Your confusion about the room at the end of the Nova Cargo bay: That’s the Cargo/Load Master office. Any cargo hauling vessel will have an officer that’s responsible for properly distributing the cargo within the ship to ensure proper weight and balance, as well as ensuring it’s secured. Even Cargo Planes like the 747 (there’s a configuration that strips all the seats out of the main deck in favor of cargo) and military haulers like the C-17 have a dedicated in-flight desk position for the Load master. That’s just the Nova Cargo 2x3 Cargo Master office. :D

Fair enough and thanks for the clarification.

The storage might be less efficient but the Deimos 2x2 cargo room is one of my favourite rooms in the game because it has the most sensible toilet. You can go to a part of the ship nobody would be in to take take a leak. The 3x2s are absolutely different btw.

That's good to know, I'll be recording that video in a few hours for tomorrow.

I actually really love the compartmentalization of the Nova cargo holds, they give options for non space truckers. Having dedicated spaces to store things other than pallets and boxes of goods can be very useful.

"How do you get all this stuff out?" - Whenever I build a ship with a cargo hold I *always* use one of the horizontally connecting bays and make the hold the first 'room' you enter.

Wise plan.

@03:06 : How are you getting this stuff out of here. This in essence explains the ridiculousness of ladders and how in the future via patched or mods, I hope we can decide what is the type of access eg stairs, ladders, lifts, elevators to connect the various habs. In an earlier comment I mentioned that I'm trying to connect the hab modules in a way that make sense. For example : 1) Infirmaries are at the same level as landing bays and dockers. This is also the reason I go with forward or side dockers rather than top/bottom. You can't send casualties via ladders. 2) Captain's quarters are located at the top, connected to control or battle stations. 3) Workshops are next to cargo holds. The 3x3 cargo holds themselves are placed immediately after landing bays. 4) Engineering bays are right at the stern where I also place reactors, grav drives and of course engines.

- Deimos: I kind if would have liked it if it had more big storage stuff.. big "Euro pallets" loaded with stuff on it. Like what you would see in an cargo plane. But yeah.. a cargo hatch would be nice... or If you could see somewhere that the floor could be lowered to load cargo on it. - Hopetech reminds me of Alien. actually really nice.. although I would hate to find stuff in there xD - Nova Galactic: I agree... it doens't look like a cargo hold... There is a lot of "design flaws" in the Nova.. like How did they get a lot of those pallets through those doors. - Stroud-Eklund: I like the way they loaded it with cargo.. but I agree.. dont know if i like the white floor. I Think I would like the white floor more if you could see the scratch marks on the floor for moving stuff around it would be alright. of the messhalls i prefere Stroud too.

It's super annoying but the game usually chooses where to place ladders by the order the habs are placed. So for an effective build you will want to start by placing a landing bay then what ever have you want connected to that and so on until you get to the cockpit, but don't place any unnecessary habs while doing so as this will alter the ladder layout. So for me on my current ship that I built earlier I placed a landing bay then connected a 3x1 Engineering bay to it then I connected a 2x2 living area on top of that I placed a 1x2 control room then placed my Cockpit onto the control room so that's the route the ladders took. Once that's done you can then place the other habs in the areas you want and the ladders won't spawn (usually) but there is one small exception and that's if you move a one of those original habs once you have placed all of your secondary ones the ladder route will change as it always tries to find the quickest route from the landing bay to the cockpit. Also when building make sure you click on the doorway/floor/roof area where you want it to connect then cycle through the hab doing that will make the corridor or ladder spawn on that square but doing that doesn't always place the hab in the exact location you want as the game tries to snap the hab in place from the doorway that will least upset the interior design.

Honestly I just hate clutter. I dont get why they needed so much of it on ships when it would be a risk if the grav drive went off. On the topic of 2x3 vs 3x2 there are some differences. I went with a 2x3 mess thinking it would have an active TV but it was only active on the 3x2, not a big thing but might matter to some people. Cargo bay would at least be useful if it made you put it on the outside of a ship and added a basic landing bay to it.
