One downfall of the original discussion was what to me was a big fracture in
the thinking. If you read them all, you can see it develope quite clearly.
There were many posts trying to decide on standards for ship building so that
everything fit into one tidy little universe using conventional physics. In
the end it was decided that there were TOO many standards for ship building.
Everything from docking port standardization and minifig vs. microfig scales
to whether or not FTL (faster than light) propulsion should be allowed. Some
felt that the standards and forced story lines stifled creativity. It would be
nice to have a place where everyone's ideas could be shared, even if the
storylines do not coincide, but even that seemed like a sore point.
