To go along with this update and because there are about two weeks left, I
thought it would be a good idea to address a possible dilemma (stop me if I’m
out of whack). I’ve been wondering over the past couple weeks about the
breathable connectivity and workable issues of the Moonbase corridors.
As can
be seen from various modules, some enclosed spaces were designed to be
pressurized, so that the inhabitants could move about more “freely” (ie. the
Club, Alpha quarters), while other enclosed areas, some spanning corridor to
corridor, were created so users would have to be in pressured suits
(/airsuits). The thing is not all units are accomodated for airlocks and it
might be quite difficult to properly arrange the ones that are. SO...I
think we need to discuss this beforehand and see what (if little) needs to be
done. I propose as a decent and fast remedy the implementation of the
following:
Swivel Frame
Swivel Pane
What’s great about this frame is that it fits the standard corridor and the
pane will allow a regular minifig with regular spacepack to pass through
(sideways). There is hardly any change in floor level as the pane can be
placed studs down, also allowing for some lighting near the “doorpost”.
Furthermore, with the TRU & KBToys sales, these parts can be picked up in
pairs for $10 or less in the (which also has some good
tubing, foilage, and the proper System TIE Fighter windshield).
Placing a frame+pane near each corridor exit would pressurize the entire
module, while two frame+plane’s in close proximity would create a regular
airlock.
Alright, post away. And thanks for reading thru as I tend to not
say things directly as possible.

I believe you are “overthinking” the whole airlock issue. If everyone puts
normal mini-fig house doors, opening inward, about 2 or 3 studs in from the edge
of a connection corridor, there would be instant airlocks between all the
modules. Problem solved with parts all of us .spacers probably have sitting in
the “highly infrequently used” bin.
