IMO, good thoughts actually. Realistically, we really wouldn't want a place
that escape pods were clustered, unless they were near a place that routinely
held a good amount of people.

No, not yet. At least not that I noticed. Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong.

Good call Duane! I've heard tell of these parts used as the upper parts of
tank turrets, but this is good too.

Perhaps. But if we get creative, there's no limit to how many of these things
we can employ.. cuz it's LDraw!!! :-)

How's this: escape pods that do double-duty: when you consider all the 1 man
escape pods that would hafta exist to serve a crew of, say, 50, that's a *LOT*
of real estate that normally goes unused day to day... unless...
what if workstations themselves were part of an escape pod? Since the SPUD in
question doesn't exist yet in LDraw, we do it some other way, with maybe a 6x6
faceted dome piece that would have been used on the front of the angled SPUD
from <set:6110> would normally be open to the room and actually serve as the
window in the bulkhead in front of the workstation? Certainly other designs
could be used in other places, but this might cut down on the number of pods
that would just normally hang out on the wall and not be used.
