Looking good!  Now let's see a model that uses it!

I think though for smaller ships it would probably be excessively
large.  Perhaps we need several standard sizes, and larger ships can
have both types...

I definitely agree with the multiple sizes thing; a full-size cargo-capable
hatch would be so blocky for a fighter scale ship so obviously a small
'floatable' pass thru like what is on the real space shuttle would do.  next
size up=walk thru, then large cargo, then maybe massive/multiple ship to
station with fuel conduits, other add-ons, etc.

NOTE:  i'm re-organizing my brickshelf account with folders etc, so i should
have the new links up in the next couple days.  i will also try posting pics of
my other creations already built so far (technic scale buildings) BEFORE i do
spaceships, cause i primarily wanted to get the docking mechanism ironed out.

thanks for the input,

Jeff
