The idea reminds me of a linear 'generation' ship that was on a Star Trek:
Voyager episode, though it wouldn't have to be linear, I know. It would be
interesting to have something like a double or triple spine ship to fit loads
of modules on --maybe some 'wings' (I know they're not neccessary in space ;) )
to attach guns, sensors, etc. just to break up the overall form. Should the
modules be based on the width of a 10" baseplate for the simple reason of not
having to buy loads of 'regular' .3 high plates? I know I've done & seen
others use a 2x beam brick to support the edge of studs of a baseplate on one
row of studs (the baseplate rests on, does not snap on), with a 1x plate on the
other row of studs on the beam , with a second 2x beam that then snaps on top
of the edge of the baseplate & regular plate to secure the floor assembly:

| (...) The possibilities are mind boggling. (...) extra course of bricks in the lower deck to allow for a frame under the baseplate. Cheers, Allister (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
