After reading your post again Steve, it seems I ignored it. And I ignored
Jonathan too. My apologies! Please forgive me.
I like your ideas now that I've read them again. And they can both work
together. Steve, to nitpick here, instead of sub-id tags like "LD-2A" what
about "LD-A2"? That way we could have a facility nicknamed "Alpha 1" or
Jonathan's "Alpha 2".
BTW, for some reason I think of "Station" to mean something that includes
civilian traffic and/or population, "Outpost" to be without civilian traffic,
but "Base" to mean something more substantial than "Station".(1)
A downside of this idea is that over time is that as bigger and bigger
installations continue to be made or added onto, some facilities could be
downgraded from "Base" to "Station" (though sub-id's would remain the same).
What do y'all think about that? Should that terminology be adopted, or are
there other thoughts, or is this needless nitpicking?
-Tom McD.
when replying, spamcake pellets make excellent snail-bait.
(1) Originally, I had thought of these terms in relation to a planetary body,
that is, "Stations" were only found in orbit or space, and "Bases" were only
on planets, but due to the lack of words to fit all the possible kinds of
installations, other nice short terms weren't to be found, or at least I've
forgotten them.
