[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] [QUOTE]Of course, with SB 47 as big as it is, there could still be segments of varying radii - so slightly varying that we can't really see the seams. A collapsible hull might help with towing the structure in place; there wouldn't be any air resistance to fight, or any tight canals to navigate through, but there might still be a warp field within which to ride... [/qb][/QUOTE]I know about the basis of the original K7 (of course!) but I don't know if Marco Palmieri does. Regardless, he didn't ask me to incorporate any suggestion of collapsibility into my station design. For a station of that size, engineering enormous pivoting sections would probably be more trouble than just building the thing in place. They'd probably flex quite a bit and be subject to differential contraction and expansion. You could, however, have pre-fab sections (like slices of orange peel) that might be stacked to save space. However, I suspect a typical plank on frame construction method, as presumably used for starships, was envisioned. [/QB][/QUOTE]
