how do people move laterally through capital ships in 40k? the

>>43646776
Alright, this is crazy, now, but imagine this: an elevator, except the rails are horizontal.
Otherwise known as a fucking train.

Jesus Christ just how painfully sheltered are you that you forgot that machines built for high-speed lateral movement exist.

>>43646776
iirc in the 'Xnoble of Mars' novels they use train-like devices.

>elevators go up and down
It's space. Up is where you choose.

It's really, REALLY fucking common in sci-fi for large ships to be built like skyscrapers with people climbing "up" to the bow and "down" to the stern. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it applies to 40k too.

And even if not, >>43646845.

No problem you fucking assburger

In a lot of IoM ships, people go from birth to death in the same section of the ship

Further to what >>43646845 said:
In the Honor Harrington universe, there are 'intra-ship transit cars'. Imagine a 3D network of elevator-shafts/train-tunnels throughout the ship. The cars are transferred by gravitic push/pull tractor-beams, instead of cables or motor-driven wheels. (Gravity manipulation is such an everyday technology in the Honor-verse that they even use it as the propellant system in most small-arms.)

They talk about using trains in flight of the Eisenstein. It's an internal ship subway

At least your game is well covered.

Not a single Traveller vessel present on this image.

The grandfather of Sci Fi RPGs, with 30 years of setting and player mapping / ship building and not a single vessel.

Weird there's no Halo Ships. A Covie Super carrier is larger than pretty much all of these

>>43652470
There's a bunch of Halo ships, in the middle, near the EVE ships.

But still no traveler. At least I've not discovered any. But the ones in >>43652336 pic are smaller than the ISS if I'm not mistaken.
