The Station/Base

How should we go about developing the first Planetary Station. While in all likelihood someone has already started, but nonetheless its a important issue to discuss.

We can go a lot of directions with the station, we could just port Box/Meta over and make minor changes therein. Or we create a new station.

If we make a new station, how would we go about it.

Would it be akin to Aliens, where you have a large base where all the structures are mostly free standing and don't connect directly with each other, surronded by a large wall. Or do we go for something akin to our current space stations where most of the structures are connected together.

Your thoughts?

I like the idea of hallways.

The atmosphere composition must be decided first before you can make many meaningful design decisions.

Personally, I am not a fan of free standing concrete/metal buildings.

Consider taking a look at some of the baystation multi z-level maps before you guys start mapping.

I always wanted a courtyard somewhere, maybe with a pond or a fountain
