I´m so happy this newsgroup came...
I love space and I want to disscuss it alot, *a lot*, A LOT!

Futuron, M:tron, Classic, Blacktron.......


Tell us what you've done with M:Tron.  Has anyone designed an M:Tron base?
What did you put in it?  I've worked on several M:Tron projects, but finished
few.  I built a "Magma Miner" using lots of the parts of the MCM.  It had a
huge drill aparatus on the front, and a trailer for carrying a Celestial
Forager.  The three sets of giant wheels had semi-independent suspension, so
it could go over large uneven obstacles while staying level.

Another project I got half-way through was an ore refinery.  Lots of pipes,
silos, vats, and a cool control room.

The only project I finished was a large (~48 x 48) M:Tron corporate
headquarters building.  Picture a 3-dimentional "M", then picture 4 of them
arranged in a square.  At the base it was 8 separate 1-story buildings with
corridors leading to an open space in the middle.  Then all four sides formed
the 3-D "M" shapes (colored with white, red, and black just like the logo),
and at the top it became 4 towers.  I wish I had pictures to share, but my
wife got sick of it sitting in the living room and took it down, then the kids
got to it before pictures could be taken.

What about others?

Though I never actually built it, I had a very cool dream about an M:Tron
base. It was on a 32x32 green baseplate. The back half of the plate was
covered in a wall of BURPs, and the front half had a forest of palm trees.
Behind the mountain of BURPs, there was a small hangar that let out a
miniature MCM. There was also a waterfall made completely of clear bricks that
went down the mountain and served as the window to the control center behind
it. The inside was kind of a control room done in MT colors. It was very cool,
but I have not been able to duplicate it to make it as cool as it was in the
dream.
