I have been fantasizing about doing a complete deck plan for a tigres. I know it is HUGE but I still like to play with the idea. My question to everyone is, what would a realistic deck layout look like?
Some of my basic ideas.

Command centers for each cone of the ship. By cone I mean a point in the middle expanding out to  a section of surface skin. This seems like the best way to me but what are your ideas?

Skin would be mostly sensors, weapons, ship bays, cargo spaces, thrusters.

Middle would be the main power drive or would it be more like a borg ship with a fractal design?

subsurface would be living quarters, shops, storage (thinking this would be more surface than say control centers.

So from surface to center it would look like this

1 Weapons, sensors, doors
2 Cargo space for most everything with more important cargo being deeper.
3 Work spaces for repair, food prep, stores etc
4 living quarters
5 command and control with more important being deeper
6 main engines, generators other central and important stuff.

Thoughts?
