    Moonbase Corridor Floor Height Should Be Raised 2 Bricks —Jon Palmer
   Wait. Put down that shovel. This is the deal: We will be adding some new features to the Moonbase Project standard soon. These include vertical corridors, higher horizontal corridors and a a permanent Monorail integration standard. All of these new (...)

      (...) You mean 24, right? ;P (...) Not necessarily. First of all, you'd have to incorporate the textured edges into the Moonbase Standard, which isn't as easy as it sounds. Aside from that, the texture would run the risk of looking somewhat (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

      Gah, how soon after the poll's closure do you plan to impliment this? How many already have modules for NWBC? Not that raising a module would be all that hard.. Mark snow Daddy Neumann (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

     (...) I hate to vote against this, but I would have to rebuild my current modules. This change would make it a little less likely that I would supply a module to the next setup that uses this. A thought however would be for some folks to provide (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

     (...) By "vertical corridors" do you mean guidelines for multi-level modules? That is, for corridor connections at regular intervals above the "1st floor"? Live it up, -sb (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

     (...) Just don't think I'll be redesigning the Rigel 7 Module any time soon :) I agree with whoever said to bump it up a little more than 2 to give more room for monorail underneath, though.

         Re: Moonbase Corridor Floor Height Should Be Raised 2 Bricks —David Gregory
      Actually I didn't even think about the total corridor width being 10 to match the new height. (Total coincidense, really) I just really like having 6 studs of space inside the corridor instead of 4. Minifigs can pass each other without the "excuse (...)

     (...) It appears to be an attempt to further standardize the standard, allowing for multiple floors to be added every ten bricks of height.

   Ack, I messsed up. I propose the first level be at 10 and the inter-level spacing be 8 bricks and 1 plate ! That hit's a technic beam compatible spacing and still allow corridors and cargo modules to stack. (...) (21 years ago, 4-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
