Help me map - I have no imagination!

[DarkStorm]

Perhaps I'm exaggerating when I say I have no imagination, in reality there are many different ways I know I can continue on with this map.  But I'm not sure of which is the best.  So I'd like any big forum junkies to give me their suggestion.  The top pic is a perspective view, the two lower pics are overhead (XY) views.  On the left, is how it looks in Q3Radiant.  On the right, is the basic layout I have completed so far.

This will be a gargantuan droid structure.  Let me worry about what happens outside the structure, what I want you guys to do is come up with a rough idea (preferably pictures) of what you would like to see on the inside of the structure.  There's only a few rules.

1. There are two entrances (bottom right picture in white) only.
   
2. The layout shouldn't go past the blue line between the two entrances.
   
3. Rooms/Corridors may be elevated in the center of the base only (where the two corridors would meet if they continued in a straight line from the entrance).  Or they may be lower in elevation anywhere in the base.

Having that been said, I hope you all will enjoy having even more direct control over the details of this mod.  If we hurry we may have a releasable quality map within the next two weeks.

Is the top open?

Uh...I'll look through some websites and leaf through some old magazines to see if I can scan anything inspirational...

[Norfenstein]

A'right, since geocities doesn't like direct linking of files on it, go here

They aren't structural pics, but they could be inspirational to someone anyway. Again, I didn't make them, all but the last one were scanned out of issue 270 of Dragon Magazine (the last one's from an earlier issue)

If you want any background on what these things are supposed to be, just point them out and I'll copy in a description.

     First, no the top is not open.  I'm not working on the top just yet as it makes it easier to edit the layout within.  Later it will evolve into(hopefully) a great spire.

     Second, thanks for inspirational pics norfenstein.  While they really are better off being looked at by our modelers and concept artists, they should still be a great aid.  I admire your taste.

     Third, last night I took a walk and visited my favorite city graveyard and thought a long time about what I should do.  I soon came up with a layout which is satisfactory to me.  I'm sure you will all like it.  Thank you all for responding to my request.
