Moonbase Module Standard Addendum Proposal
Optionally, Moonbase Modules may be built with four vertical passageways 6
studs wide by 5 bricks long and 15 bricks high (translates into 18 studs
tall), passing through the module. These columns should be built studs not
up and all four passageways should have studs pointing the same direction.
Column centers should be 12 studs in from the edges of the 48x48 baseplate.
The ends of these columns should be constructed following the original
corridor connection standards.
What do you guys think?

I think a drawing would help people visualize this better.
Seriously, though, it would be easier for modules to connect if you have a
single passageway running up and down in the middle of a baseplate. With four
individual columns, you’d be requiring that each lower module have four
vertical passageways, which is too restrictive. If you can build a module
with just one horizontal connection, why must you have four to go vertical?

Please understand that it is a VERY rough photoshop ‘sketch’ since I only had a
few minutes in class to toss it together, but it will express my ideas to visual
thinkers ok:
