Hello Mr. Kruer,
Actually I was afraid people would say I copied the Tantive IV.. but no one
has yet.
I was thinking of modules as a cool way to build a really large ship that
could then be taken apart to get at the interior details. They could also
be interchange-able, so you could move things around.. or make new modules
that could then be added on. I thought maybe be a good idea for a group
project, alongside the moonbase, so that all the modules made by different
people could be gathered together to make a super-large SHIP not possible
with any single person's single collection.
Just an idea, tho...

Thanks again. Now that you mention it, I think you are right about the
hallway. I didn't want to be slopes there when I was making it because I
wasn't sure what I was doing for the roof.. but now that I think about it..
a main hall would be a great place for some art or something to liven the
place up a bit!
