Your ship layout?

[Sofia]

I recently g ot my human ship to a class 10, I think is the highest, or whatever it is, and I'm not sitting here starring at this empty ship. What sort of layout do you guys use? I need inspiration.

Captain's quarters in the top two rooms, crew quarters in the bottom two, restrooms in the two tiny rooms, cargo hold in the room next to the helm, crafting and farming in the two big rooms.
Helm is upgraded with "navigation center" (a console and some screens that do nothing), and fuel storage.

How do you usualyl set up your system to get around? Because I can't think of a way of doing it that doesn't involve ugly platforms all over the place

I ended up using 3-tile-wide platforms running up the vertical sections and used ship supports in the background to make them look like ladders. You could do 1 tile wide, but crew members can't use them, so they just hop up and down incessantly.
You could also try rails, but I couldn't figure out a practical way to make them work.

Here are some screenshots of what I've got so far. Maybe it'll help you decide what you want to do.

Either I'm doing something wrong, or all the lights are lamps, and that won't work for ceiling lighting

I used mostly Iron Spotlights.

Mobile farm and warehouse storage.

Wish there was a way to set up auto doors. That open and close when you approach/go through them

Proximity sensors can do that. Set one on each side of the door, then wire them both to the blue node. With some trial and error, and a lot of patience, you can set up automatic lighting and things like that.

I use my ship only for transport. My base and colony are in my first planet.

I've not gotten into any colony stuff at all, I'm not even sure how to start or what the point is, probably because I'm so horrible at building in this game.
