Thanks for this. I’ve been using a division breakdown based on some deck plans from Cygnus X1 and these icons remind me of the ship’s organization from Scott’s Guide to the Enterprise… so we’re reorganizing both of our player ships along these division lines with these icons.
Also the article is good since it can always add depth to any campaign.
Awesome to hear
