A typical cargo deck (bottom image) has the elevator core and 2 flanking cargo areas, each generally separated out into smaller cargo spaces. Some sections would be refrigerated or frozen, carrying seed stock, frozen animal embryos, and other things they think they will need.
A typical passenger deck again has the central elevator core, and one of many several different habitation plans. Crew tended towards more standard, smaller staterooms while families and officers may have had more luxurious quarters.
Engineering decks were always under the fuel decks. Each engineering deck in theory could access all required engineering systems: the builders were fond of redundancy despite it eventually failing them (hence the wreck part!). In practice, though, each engineering deck tended to concentrate on specific things, such as the jump drive, maneuver systems and life support.
I'll have to do an outline of the decks based on the overall schematics. I figure there will be clumps of habitation decks (and I need to have a gym deck). As the ship is at least 400 meters long there is a fair amount of room for a lot of decks.
And Kafers. Let us not forget the Kafers. Probably won't put them in there but I do need to put in something interesting. And I need to map out the domes and some specific areas. Basically this could well be a dungeon crawl in spa-a-a-ace! But I actually do have some other plans...
All I can say is thank goodness for Robert Pierce and Another Traveller Site, where I got these geomorphs!
