Where to go on a space station?

PostDateIcon Thu, 11/17/2016 - 2:00pm | PostAuthorIcon w00t

When characters visit a space station, where do they go?
Do they stay together, form small groups or go off individually.
I've come up with an idea to let players move their miniature to the place they'd like to visit. I believe it will speed up game play and allow a visual reference to where characters are.

Can you name other places on a space station? Please comment below. Some might be unique to the type of station, I'm looking for general locations.

Here is a sample image showing locations (Large Version).

Examples:
Referee, "After docking in short term storage a tech manipulates the imbecilic dock to the ships hatch. A few seconds later the green light indicates it's safe to leave the ship for the stations lobby. Starting with Bill, please place your miniatures on the location you'd like your character to travel to and tell me what you are doing."

Player Bill, "I'm going to the promenade to to get sloshed." Referee rolls his eyes.

Player Bob, "I want to go to the station ops to see if there is an identity to the ship we spotted outside the asteroid field." Referee, "OK, let's role play that after Bobby declares."

Player Bobby, "I'm checking the mission board to see if there is a listing for spacers looking for tech work since our tech-bot bought the laser last mission." The Referee pulls out his notes he prepared earlier for the mission board and hands it to Bobby. "Here you can see all the listing on the board."

I should consider listing how far (in game turns) each location is away from each other.

  • What if the PC's need to evacuate quickly, how far is each character from their ship?
  • Player 1, "How far am I from the Police?"
  • Player 2, "I want to hack the radar tower, if things go bad, how quickly can I get to the promenade to try and blend into the crowd?"

Distance on the arrow connections or make it simple, 1 Round per hex, 2 for an arrow?

Are you looking for something like this?

Hydroponics Lab/May
Medical Lab/Bay
Main Engineering
Reactor Core
Fighter Bay
Hangar
Station Defense
Quarters
Mess hall
Food Court
Live Support

etc?
