Well, I'm thinking that it is just in orbit around a planet, so it doesn't
need propulsion, and that it does have gravity. And how far in the future? Why
does it matter? :) As I said, this is Lego, it doesn't have to be realistic!
:) Also, why use forcefeilds? This thing could be armed with Global Defence
Cannons that pop out of the roof! ;)

Yes, unfortunatly. :\

Yep, what I'm thinking that all we have to do is make the outside, and we can
fill in the details later. Hehehe! That reciently posted head would be
something nice for the mess halls. :)

Yep. That would be a nice idea. How about something like each type of people
makes a differant part of the station? Who cares how huge this is? :)

Yep. I agree. Personaly, my view of the future has to do with antimatter
drives, going almost lightspeed from planet to planet. Hey, those LCC'ens. :)

That would decidedly rock. :)
