(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) I've seen people creating "standard" airlocks/docking modules for a while now. Most have some problem or another-- my own standard, for example, takes way too much space and uses too many of pieces I don't have enough of, so I've scrapped it. (...)

(...) Currently, I'm using the airlock from the Bricriu since it is the best one I've found so far. It's also not depleting my specialized part stock like other designs. Until something better comes along, that will be MY standard. (...) As far as a (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Next to a wall, I find 3x5 to be a better size for a spartan bed. Annoying to build, but you can fit a minifig on it without half of him hanging off. :) 2x5 is fine if it sticks out from a wall or something like that. (...) This, I think, (...)

(...) I have the 2 X 5 bed next to a window, so the 'fig can hang off into it. The other problem with the 5 long bed is that the 'fig is a little to tall to properly lay down. I usually insert a 1 x 2 x 2 panel into the wall to help out. I'm (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) I think that the idea is not to create a standard airlock, but rather to create a standard adapter. One end of the adapter conforms to the standard airlock design and can mate with any other adapter. The other end is specifically designed to (...)

Thats what I thought they started out talking about, then things got complicated. i.e. my ship = my adapter = your adapter = your ship one end of our adapters will be standard, the other will fit our ship. my $0.02 worth Gary Bram Lambrecht (...)
