Kresty's Starship

[kresty]

I'm so sorry that this happened, but I like the attitude you're having about it. 

A quick question though:
Are you going to go full Star Ship, all out Cantina, or just mix up a bunch of cool ideas for the final design? I'm curious since my basement is unfinished, and am seeking ideas.

I'm happy for ideas too.  We looked up various images on Bing, looking for Theater rooms (considering making it more like a theater with collectibles) and other themed rooms.  

Since the space is pretty obviously 'not' something in the 'Falcon or whatnot, we decided to go more generic.  Worse for the Star Wars theme is that Lara wants to build K-9, who isn't exactly Star Wars.  

So.. We decided we're some sort of traveling collector.  The ship will be kinda generic, but inspired by things we liked, not just from Star Wars, but elsewhere.  Eg:  It could pop up in a Mandalorian episode... or a trader that Picard runs in to... or whatever.

Additionally, we don't want to compromise the "movie" experience, and there's a model train layout in the back corner (We've decided he can collect that too).  

So far, this is the most important thing I've learned about this project: Have a plan.





It's sort of obvious, but his previous incarnation was an eclectic mess of cool ideas. So he's redoing everything with a plan in mind.

So, we're trying to figure out what kinds of things are realistic for what we're trying to do and the practical use of the space, and so we're trying to come up with some design rules to support a coherent story.

Some things are limited - like we can't be too busy or bright by the screen. I'm toying with the idea of some exposed speaker drivers to look less like home entertainment speakers and more like industrial ship stuff - and so if we end up going with non-black ones, maybe using that color to accent other details.

We bought a kinda cool rug and decided on the color for the theater seats. Basically lots of stuff is ending up neutral - black, white or grey, so that it works with whatever accents we do.
