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 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?

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. 10 high corridors would allow a module to have only
one tall (internally 8 high) floor for every corridor level. 12 high corridors
would allow a module to have two normal (internally 5 high) floors for every
corridor level. I hope that makes more sense.
