Hi Folks-

Let me begin by saying that I'm a moonbase novice.  I've yet to create a
module, so feel free to disregard the following comments until you feel that
I've been around the block enough...

However, one of the limitations of the Moonbase concept (albeit necessary)
is that the standard modules are limited in size.  This leaves the designers
three choices:  1.) Keep their modules limited to one baseplate, 2.) Build
"supermodules" with multiple baseplates or 3.)  Build "up." as illustrated
by the spectacular "Landing Pad"

What about establishing a height standard whereby connection corridors could
be placed at intervals *above* the usual 8 bricks off-the-ground elevations?
In all other respects, the corridors would adhere to the normal guidelines,
but they could be located at, say, a height of 24, 40 and 56 bricks.  In
this way, modules might be able to interlock in additional ways, creating a
bit of a Jetson-ian architecture.

Even though I'm even more of a moonbase novice than you are
(especially since I don't have an active project right now), but I
figured I'd toss in my two-credits-worth anyway.  I think you've got a
great idea.

I've got an even crazier suggestion (question?):

Could there be a moonbase module V-type standard that called out
support points so that V-modules could be stacked on top of each
other?
