As the size of the moonbase continues to increase it would seem
to require support from larger spacecraft than those which would
be accomodated by the "moon's surface"(48x48 plates). I wouldn't
think there would be stripes painted on the surface:)
There has been some discussion of the 32x32 landing plates, mainly
how they do not fit the standard footprint except in certain combinations.
I offer:
http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=221071
from an earlier experiment with modularity as an example of
how the 32x32 plates could be used. These landing pads would represent
reinfoced structures to support larger spacecraft. Possibly with internal
power/fueling support, landing beacons, tractor beam equipment for
auto-landing, etc. Although single pads are shown, larger arrangements
could be made.
My work doesn't have structures or corridors to link with the standard
(I'm not a prolific structure builder) but the method might be adaptable.

| (...) Interesting concept. However, the original plan for large scale moonbase displays (such as that for next year's Brickfest) was to have a separate landing/runway area, which would be based on the 32x32 footprint of the landing pad and T (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
