(...) <Clears Throat> I agree. That was the first thing that came up in my mind. To begin with, it would be easy to add on to, just add a baseplate. I really don't have too much input as to the naming conventions used. I just want to build. Has (...) (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hmm. Would we have to mark it as mobile? ;-) So what's the nature of Moonbase LD-A? Before we decide that, we should decide on the background environment, so we'll know what's appropriate and inappropriate. I'll take that to another thread, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.space)

(...) It's too detailed for the discussion at hand, but I was wondering if it would be practical to use several systems. For interstellar travel, use galactic coordinates. For in-system travel, use solar coordinates. On a planet's surface, use the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.space)
