well,
in bricklug chat room we got to talkin
about brainstorming a standard airlock size
for MOCs, and then came up w/ the idea that
rather than impose a std, we could just make
little modules that would join 'your' MOCs
airlock to a standard, i.e.
Your ship <=> airlock module <=> other MOC
so then it occurred to us that something like
the Workbee could be used to move these
airlock modules around...
the upshot of all this is that when we have
gatherings, we could all build components,
and then show up and they could all hook
together.
additionally,
we could standardize some sort of technic
connection for the airlockmodules, and/or
we could build a large spacebase and then
dock all the ships to it via the modules
btw, these airlock modules are basically
= to docking rings ;-)

| (...) What an excellent idea. I can do that! Whatever this standard becomes, let me know and I will make a docking ring extension that will mate to the standard. I can pretty much guarantee that all my large ships will have docking rings from now (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| well, i don't know how this thread got so off-topic so fast but after more discussion in chat, the bottom line here is NOT TO IMPOSE a standard on anyone, turns out there are a few salient points: 1. std for minifig airlocks is diff than 2. std for (...)

| (...) I've been following this thread a bit and am wondering which modules need to have "standards"? So far, the airlock/docking ring seems to be the only point of contact. Are there any other modules being considered? Have there been proposals for (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
