I own only three of those huge 1/4 blue dome things, two from the Exploriens
base, one from the Spyrius base. But, still, that's enough for 3 bays.
Remember that posted message ["Re: Ship Power Core"] that had that link to a
site with a cylindric antimatter core? Who noticed the trans-yellow 1/4 dome
that could be raised or lowered to expose or cover the antimatter core? That
might work nicely for a launch bay. See if you can get some good ideas from
that.

| I just remembered this cool-as-heck space station built by Brian Ward. It had some pretty cool bay doors. Even though it is a ground facility, you could probably make it fit on your ship: (URL) "I'm Crazy Tetherball Head!" Majewski (URL) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.space)
