Thinking about power cables all over the place & stuff..
Nothing really works as the original designer wanted. Ways of use always change, unexpected usage is always added on top of existing useage and there is never enough time to make stuff tidy. And that's existing earth based engineering. Unless there is a compelling reason to tidy stuff up (like cables going through air/water tight doors on a battleship) it's unlikely to be corrected prior to the firesafety officer's inspection. So, irritating as all the stuff might be, it's a reflection of busy people having to make do in a difficult state.
No, doesn't get on my wick. It's the way a lot of people have to work, much as they don't want to.
Stillettoes in space, no, that's just wrong. Come to think of it - Stillettoes, no, that's just wrong. One of the funniest things I ever saw was the only time my wife has tried to wear stillettoes. She just couldn't walk in them.
Regards,

Apart from this topic not even being about stilettos in space, what's wrong with some designers catering to the clientele that likes the idea of stilettos in space? To each his own, and the simple fact is, that of the last 50 sci-fi outfits released for the Genesis 8 Female, the vast majority didn't even have high heels. What's next? "More Food Assets Within The Daz Store Should Cater To The Vegetarian Diet"?
And of course, tenders are submitted for the contract.... to Starfleet, or to the government, and who do they usually picl? The lowest bid..... :)
So naturally things are going to break, or have a bug that needs a lot of constant attention..... you get what you pay for, citizen.
I get the vibe being espressed here but I sort of remember Dr. Who battling dinosaurs on a space ship in an episode entitled (wait for it....) "Dinosaurs On A Spaceship"). Ewww, dino piss & poop on the deck.
Not to mention tiny arms, meaty tails, big claws and variously protruding spikes catching on all those loose cables. But we apparently forgive Dr. Who for anything except being female.
I work on a ship for a living so I can entirely relate with this thread. Our Captain is forever reprimanding crew for leaving things in front of/blocking fire doors or leaving equipment out in the corridors. If we ever had a safety inspection/audit and there were any trailing wires or things which could trip people we would have many certiifcates revoked and forbidden to sail until the infractions were rectified. I imagine in the future, these safety measures would be enforced even more so. Unless of course you were Han Solo...then you could probably do whatever the hell you wanted.
Pipes and fittings leak sometimes, especially in industrial settings. Did you read @kenshaw011267 post, immediately above yours? In addition the maintenace "crew" was delibrately slacking on their duties because they weren't happy with their contract.
While true, there are also the cases like maintenance, during which you often won't recognize your usual workspace. Stuff will be cleaned up before sailing out, ofcourse, but during maintenance, it's more a matter of what's practical to get the job done ASAP. The other case would be a malfunction during the trip. If something absolutely has to work to even reach port, then yes, messy powerlines may happen. If things can be repaired and cleaned up during the trip, then that's great. If not, then those conduits will be out in the open until the next port is reached, to be fixed and cleaned up there before the ship goes out again.
Anyway, Stonemason already adviced that the loose wires and stuff can be easily hidden, so I don't see any issue with them. They're provided incase someone has a need for them.
Got to say that I love Stonemason's Starship Bridge - so much detail and so versatile. People have already mentioned Star Wars and particularly the Millennium Falcon with it's state of patched-up, barely functional maintenance. I think that this is one of the genius ingredients of Star Wars - that the futuristic technology is old. So old that it is treated in the same way that we treat a tin opener or an electric iron - the people of that universe are not impressed by most of it.
I play Elite: Dangerous on occasion and the idea of the ships in that universe is that they are owned by independent pilots who are responsible for fuel and maintenance costs. Sometimes you are hundreds of light years from the nearest star port and you have to literally limp back to civilisation. Or maybe you are in close proximity to lots of worlds and stations, but you just don't have the money to pay for repairs. I remember that my first car was much the same - it would break down and I would have to buy second hand parts or just patch things up because I didn't have the money to fix it properly. Those are the cases where I imagine that a space ship would have lots of makeshift cables lying around.
cap'n!
the entire maintainence crew has just filed for transfer to another vessel. lieutenant singh down in hydroponics says we're lookin' at a serious shortage of fruits and veggies unless you give the lads their hoses back. macallister reports that engineering can't route emergency power to shield two because some fool pulled used the heavy transducer cables out of cable storage and used 'em to power the battle suit charger station--and the surge overload completely depolarized 'em.
an' the steward on deck one says your quarters are swarming with tyrenian fisslebugs again--lord only knows how the bloodthirsty little beasties keep getting in there!--and the whole wing has got to be sterilized. again...
it's like a nightmare, cap'n! it's...it's almost as bad as last week!

I thought it looked cool. Like if the Serenity and the Nostromo had a baby, and the baby grew up and had a child with the Millenium Falcon.
That's the best description of this product that I've seen. Stonemason should add that to the product page.

...indeed, the tech crew needed to jury rig damaged systems the best they could as they were a long way from port and there were no NSSPA stores in the region to get the proper replacement parts.
In RL, it was an ugly makeshift job but using duct tape to fit a square peg in a round hole saved the lives of the Apollo 13 crew. Sometimes you just have to work with what you got.
Tyrenian Fisslebugs are bloodthirsty only in the three weeks leading up to the mating and egg-laying phase. This is the true reason that Vulcans don't eat meat. The Fisslebugs ate it all first!
Except for the Selats. The Selats eat you.
Wires and stuff thrown around gives a 'lived in', state of being used and worked on. And it just looks cool. I don't always put the shovel away when digging a hole in my back yard.
Water and wetness is great for reflections. That's why directors use it all the time.
a wire tidy enviro would be an ice fortress of solidtude
no wires in a laser hall
If y'all are having conniptions over lived in-looking sci-fi stuff, I think you'd have heart attacks with Guardians of the Galaxy, Farscape, etc.
You need to open your minds to sci-fi stuff outside of rote Star Trek and Star Wars, guys.
I don't see any of those cables going through the doors or generally "being in the way of movement" so your comment is void
more importantly, does the capt chair swivel?
Hmm... dirty it up a bit and add some more clutter, and you could have the John Pym from the Space Captian Smith series by Toby Frost... wpuld need a hamster cage, though and hamster..
I like it!
I think it's a little silly to point out that the ISS has loose cabling, since the product in question is clearly supposed to be more technologically advanced than our garbage current technology. Also, it's easier to get away with loose wiring like that when you don't have to contend with Earth-like gravity, and thus can't really "trip" over a wire.
Advanced doesn't mean tidy; if you look at Mercury capsules vs the ISS, there isn't a marked difference in how tidy they are. Or, consider operating roos which have existed for a 150 years, even the modern ones have cables all over the place... Perhaps, the modern technology makes the cables less trip resistant?
Go back and look for photos of the insides of the Russian Mir (Мир) space station. They routinely had cables and hoses running through hatchways.
Please keep the discussion civil and addressing the topic.
The factory spec cable channels ran out of room three refits ago. The upgraded sensor links pick up so much noise from the network traffic that their wiring had to be completely rerouted. The air circulation system had been adapted from the 03 series. It doesn't play nice with with either the bulkhead nor the coolant system layout and unless you spend half the power budget on additional fans and dehumidifiers for those corners you'll have condensation issues. Could we run on lower overall humidity? Technically yes, practically we'd run out of functioning crew pretty soon.
Oh, those cables? A temporary fix to keep us running until the company finds it in their budget to give us the dock time to put in something more permanent.
And where is the Mir space station now?
Exactly.
I like having the option of the cables and wish more sets had options like this one and also damaged panels and garbage as an option
i think the cables have nice aesthetics.
me too.
they keep the environment from seeming too pristine or stark or abstract. stonemason's an artist.
and as he's pointed out, if you don't like them, you can get them out of the way with a click.
