Mostly agree, but how would be easier to defend against nature on the ground?Deepcrush wrote:I'd prefer the idea of building on the surface. Easier to move the supplies and provide labor. Easier to defend from nature or attack.
I guess space weather is far more harsh, I'm just thinking the "hangar" you would have to enclose the Galaxy class in would be simply awesome in scale.
And you'd need TWO hangars, as I doubt building one ginormous hangar for the whole thing wouldn't be practical.
Perhaps even four; one for the saucer module, another for the star drive, and two more for the nacelles; actually the nacelles could probably be housed in one hangar.
