Rather than derail Mithras' Deckplan-Outpost thread, I thought I'd start my own development thread here. As I said in my post there, the idea of modular shelters got me thinking along the lines of LBB3, specifically the Pre-Fabricated Cabin and Advanced Base on p.19.
The dimensions are given as 2m x 6m x 6m. I assume those are external dimensions, meaning that the structural floor and ceiling will have to be a pretty stiff material to be thin enough to (almost) let people stand up inside. I decided to go for a fully modular flat-pack construction, so that the external walls are not limited to, say, one hatch in the middle of each, which would make the whole idea impractical.
I'll probably work the whole thing out in greater detail one day for publication in Stellar Reaches. If that's ok with you, Flynn - and I know I've got a "little" something I should be getting on with first!
