Not that they are necessarily bad in their own way, but the specialized pieces, particularily the ordinance/hardware look like non-construction parts tacked on. For (...)

What would everyone think about making the Moonbase passageways 6 wide? I and other members of my LUG have found this size to be very usefull.
