(...) Here's the part in Jeff's original message that particular reaction is to; I read it as changing the corridor height at the ends, but after re-reading the passage it appears ambiguous. (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I agree that this is more of a container standard than a MB standard. I'm not sure Jeff was talking about modifying the MB standard at all. I think his point is that we should try to make the container standard conform to the MB airlock (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

Snippage (...) I don't think anyone is talking about changing the MB standards as much as designing a standard for containers to fit WITH the MB. Mike (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I don't see this as being an issue for the MoonBase. I see it being more necessary for a MB rail or track system, but even then it doesn't need to be "nailed down" like the MB corridors have to be. If the MB corridors don't line up, then (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

Snippage (...) I'm not very active in .space but I'll throw in my $0.02. I like the idea of the 8 x 16 studs for width and length. If height of a moonbase corridor is 7 bricks and two plates adding corner plates to the bottom corners would bring the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'd say standard dimensions are a requirement! I'd also say we include a short and long version of the containers, much like trains (or real-life intermodal) does. the containers I used (I think) are 8 studs long, so this could be the short (...)

Even though I rarely start threads on Lugnet, I thought this topic is ripe for discussion. We've seen from the recent thread, (URL) gives space a whirl, that there seems to be some interest in a Space Cargo Container Standard. Drawing on the above (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
