[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]That's pretty similar to the concept I came up with a couple of years ago, except mine were square. Stackable, interlinking modules with specialised modules providing power, hydroponics, etc. I also had some interconnecting tunnel sections for spanning distances, and some double sized ones for use as connecting hubs, hangars and control rooms. The best analogy was Space 1999 and Alpha moonbase, which although not necessarily modular, was a good design for a space outpost.[/QUOTE]I thought hexagons would be a more versatile shape since it allows for more flexibility when arranging them into a larger structure. I did think about interconnecting walkways and thought a soft tunnel could be retracted into a bay surrounding the airlocks, then a more permanent structure is built up around and inside it later. [QUOTE]How are said modules detached and dropped onto the planet? The DY 100 class had cargo modules on the outside. Are they simply dropped from orbit and hope they land/parachute where the colony is planned? Or do you see these ships actually landing and then the modules unloaded or detached? [/QUOTE]Well in my little concept the saucer section detaches, splits into five sections then each section makes a controlled entry into the atmosphere. [/QB][/QUOTE]
