I realize this has probably come up before(and there had at one time been an attempt at modding the game to give us a more logical and more fleashed out Rick to run around in), but does anybody know the layout of the Rickenbacker pre invasion?

Yes. Ever played Pac Man? It's just like that.

Shoulda figured the Rick'd have just as messed up of a layout as the von braun.
By the way anyone have any pictures of the rickenbacker's exterior? I'm meaning JUST the rick, not the rick glommed onto the von braun.

Isn't an image of the Rick shown while you're installing the game? It's been such a long time since I last installed it that I no longer remember...

There is also a movie, if I remember, of the ric docking with the VB in the intro.

Yeah; it's a frame from the intro movie, IIRC.
The intro really has the best pics of the Rickenbacker, so I'd go there first.

I'm going to guess-- exactly the same as post invasion, only without the big hole and broken ladders.

So the rick had no reactor, no crew quarters, no cargo bay of any sort, and those six subdecks were pure decoration. I'm tempted to say wrong guess.

Don't blame me. Blame whoever designed the Rickenbacker like it was a Quake map. There is nothing in the plot to suggest that the Rickenbacker was reconfigured in any significant way. Maybe if SHODAN had control up there, but the Rick was The Many's playground.

And without the upside-down bit too.

I think the lack of things like reactor, crew quarters, and whatnot has been explained and blamed on running out of time and money. The entire end of the game was pretty rushed, IIRC.
