Found a boo-boo.. Number 7 should be corrected to read:
7. Armstrong is 7 main parts: control center in the middle; medical, landing
bays, sleeping quarters, mess halls, science [lab], and power core; in a 6
pointed star shape.
VOLUNTEERS==========================
Also, here's a list of folks and what part they've volunteered to design:
1. Sleeping Quarters - Randy Williams
2. Mess Halls - Randy Williams
3. Power Core - Tom McDonald
4. Landing Bays - Kyle Keppler ??
5. Science Lab - Kyle Keppler ??
6. Medical/Sickbay - ??
7. Command Center - ?? *
8. Weapons - ?? **
*Given my earlier post about this perhaps being the most visited room (at
least via webpage), should everyone have a hand in contributing to the design
of this room? I know I would like to.
**Mark N mentioned something about the station being armed, and there was no
objection (charter point number 3), so I included weapons. Perhaps they could
be on a module or two.
STATION DESIGN THUS FAR=============
According to previous discussion with no objections thus far, the station is
to have at least 7 rooms (see the Volunteers section above for description)
and be 3 levels. Science Lab is at the top, Command Center at the middle, and
Power Core at the bottom. It has not been discussed where the remaining 4
rooms would go. It has also not been discussed if Weapons should be its own
section perhaps as a module, and with armament placed in either one or various
locations.
I offer that it should be laid out like as per the following, using the number
assignments given from the Volunteers section above.

<--- Clockwise
[06]
[04][03][01]
[02]
Weapons are not displayed. I haven't given that any thought yet.
NEW BUSINESS==================
1) Randy W suggested we adopt a standard uniform. I would suggest something
that can be currently made from parts found in the LDraw parts library.
Perhaps various minifig designss can be posted to our webpages for review.
2) Tom M suggests that given the fact that some folks would want to build this
or parts of this station in real life, only TLC stock colors should be used;
no LDraw fantasy colors, no painting or any kind of color changing or
enhancement, and no non-TLC decals or stickers (unless they exactly duplicate
official TLC decals or stickers).
3) Because he has a big mouth, Tom M also suggests the use of rarer parts be
limited. Should I want to build a section or the whole thing, I'd like to be
able to do it without having to wade through acres of auction webpages trying
to find a shirtload of 1x1 transparent red round bricks with fins or funky
black and green space windows found on the Alien Moon Stalker.
More thoughts? Objections?
-Tom McD.
