"Ship Internals" section incorrectly describes grid coordinate axes

[rjwut]

Currently, it reads as follows:

A vessel's internal system grid is laid out in a 5 × 5 × 10 matrix: X (port to starboard), Y (dorsal to ventral), then Z (fore to aft).

This appears to be reversed for the Y and Z axes: it looks like Y increases ventral to dorsal, and Z increases aft to forward. I would appreciate it if others could confirm this.

EDIT: It seems like X is actually okay, but Y and Z still seem reversed.

If I'm correct, this should be an accurate diagram of the TSN Light Cruiser:

https://noseynick.net/artemis/snt.html is in the order actually read from the file
So PROBABLY:
X = port .. starboard except all the ships are symmetrical so I'm not sure we can prove that?
within each of those:
Y = deck 5 (top),4,3,2,1 (bottom)
and within each of those
Z = rear to front

Technically, one ship is not symmetrical: the TSN Missile Cruiser has a stray hallway node just floating out there on one side. However, you can't really see a difference in the client. But I have confirmed by correlating DAMCON positions reported in the client against the protocol that X increases to starboard.

If we really wanted to, we could always create an asymmetrical ship... 😊

Oh you're right! Never spotted that before!
That's artemis-4.snt so https://noseynick.net/artemis/snt.html has the extra random corridoor. Is it fair to say front, port side, top deck?

I heard a rumour someone has made a Millennium Falcon 😁 🖖 😉

I can't see it on a real Eng screen... Perhaps because it's not actually connected to any other part of the ship, up/down/port/starboard/fore/aft? 🤷‍♂️

[rjwut]

Dots are rendered at nodes where systems or damage exists, and corridors are rendered between two non-empty nodes. Since there's no system there and there isn't another non-empty node adjacent to it, there's nothing to render. What might get it to show up is damage: maybe try letting an enemy shoot at you with no shields to see if that node gets damaged and shows up?

[rjwut]

Oops, didn't mean to close it.

[rjwut]

Well look at that...

[rjwut]

Oh, and confirmed that it's on the port side.
