I agree. That was the first thing that came up in my mind. To begin with,
it would be easy to add on to, just add a baseplate.
I really don't have too much input as to the naming conventions used. I
just want to build. Has anyone had any luck in designing the docking port?
I started working on a couple of docking ideas the other night, and came
away with a battle droid. (How the two are related, I'll never know) Any
thoughts on how large a footprint we want the airlock to have? I've tried
to stay around 6 X 6, or 6 X 8.
You know Tom, I'm beginning to think that you're a pretty good guy, no
matter what Larry says about you. :-)
