I hadn't thought about the need for accommodating TV camera crews, but you are right!

2018-07-28 01:48:34 +0000 UTCI've had fights over bad ship design in SFRPGs. I would blame Star Trek, except they were basing their ideas on an older movie: Forbidden Planet. As much as I like that movie, it's space opera/Shakespeare. The C-57D is a flying saucer with artificial gravity, so yeah, the USS Enterprise had to have that as well. The Enterprise's failings is that it was designed for a 1960's TV film camera crew, which is why it's corridors were so wide. Until we get an orbital movie studio, (Hear that Elon? ORBITAL) we're stuck with magnetic boots and painful wirework.
