Ok the 8 high corridors has been my biggest “problem” with the moonbase standard. I am definately in favor of making them higher, if nothing else so larger things can roll under the corridors. I would like to ask why 10 high though? Why not just go straight to 12 high corridors. (With corridors at 24, 36, 48, etc. for the vertical standard.) The obvious benefit would be that we could build 2 floors to every corridor. With the current and proposed standards we can only build “high ceiling” floors. If every thing were multiples of 12 that would allow 2 normal floors or one “high ceiling” floor. It just seems far more versatile to do it this way to me, especially given the LEGO company’s fixation with even multiples. (ie. 48x48 grey plate versus 50x50) So what does everyone else think?

(...) I really like this idea. TLC does do everything in multiples of 6 & 12, so it would make for some really cool possibilities as far as ceilings and floors are concerned. Count me in for one vote in favor of this. Captain Krotzer, The Unknown (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I guess I'm missing the point. How would this be easier to deal with than 10 high corridors (and subsequent floors at 10, 20, 30, etc)? I get the part about larger things underneath, but that's it. Something else to it? -Chris (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
