oops, nearly forgot about the crater plate but that doesn't count

Blasphemy!! Some of the best sets ever were built on crater plates. Your only
excuse for that comment may be that you missed out on the classic space era,
even then you should have due respect for minifigs that can spacewalk without
a visored helmet.

Or, more likely, he didn't include it because it's different from all the
other baseplates mentioned in the message, in that there are no raised
surfaces upon which to build.  No studs on the craters makes it tough to put a
building on there.  I agree that the old-fashioned crater plates are extremely
nifty.

Hmm.  I think this has been discussed before -- the crater plate in the
<set:6190> Aquashark set had studs *in* the crater.  The older sets (like
<set:6987>) had no studs.

Were there any stud-bearing crater plates prior to 6190?
