AFAIK (and I've been looking for a while) no set has ever used
14x14 bottoms. From looking at the MF pictures again, it looks
like they're 10x10s simply "moved apart" far enough to give the
proper outside diameter; this would explain why the supporting
interior "walls" are set 10 studs apart and not 6. The hint of
curvature and the apparent number and position of stud recesses
also supports this theory, IMHO. As much as I'd love 14x14
bottoms, I can't see it happening. :(
the picture locations, for those who don't recall, are at
Rebelscum's Toy Fair 2000 clearinghouse:

All that said, I can't wait! Grey saucer bottoms will be very cool.
Frank, you can still build water towers--a little brasso or a kind
nearby soul with lots of blank 10x10 saucer tops (innocent whistle)
and you're set! Sure, you'll be a few imperial gallons short, but
hey, how much do minifigs *really* need to drink?
best,
Lindsay
