well,
in bricklug chat room we got to talkin

rather than impose a std, we could just make
little modules that would join 'your' MOCs
airlock to a standard, i.e.


Your ship <=> airlock module <=> other MOC

so then it occurred to us that something like
the Workbee could be used to move these
airlock modules around...

the upshot of all this is that when we have
gatherings, we could all build components,
and then show up and they could all hook
together.

additionally,
we could standardize some sort of technic
connection for the airlockmodules, and/or
we could build a large spacebase and then
dock all the ships to it via the modules

btw, these airlock modules are basically
= to docking rings ;-)

What an excellent idea.  I can do that!  Whatever this standard becomes, let
me know and I will make a docking ring extension that will mate to the standard.

I can pretty much guarantee that all my large ships will have docking rings
from now on.

Boy I would sure love to take a trip out to some of the other LUGs and meet
up with some of you guys.  :^)
