I don't think the intent of the new corridor was changing the original
formula, but adding new dimmensions to it.

It seems to me that this kind of posture limits a lot of creativity. It
would be nice to see the moonbase project be the focal point for
distributing moonbase ideas instead of a judge and jury of what is
acceptable. Connector options would allow a lot of new ideas to bloom and
not hurt the original intent. As long as anything that is supposed to
connect to a standard module can, what's the harm. My module is 4x6
baseplates. I don't plan on having a connector on every side of
everybaseplate and some of the connectors will be custom inside my 4x6 area.
IF my connector idea is a good one, maybe someone else will use it and it
will flourish. If not, that's OK as well. Hopefully I have a place to
refine and improve my designs in Moonbase discussions and not be directed to
conform to only one standard or don't be a part of the project. Saying no
to sugestions at this early stage would seem to splinter what seems to be a
group of people with a lot of creative energy and force people to go it
alone. Hopefully I won't have to. The Moonbase project is to good of an
idea not to share it.
Build Well!
