::Personally, I like the idea of there being a research section, if only because I wonder what on earth the engineers would do with a sizable percentage of the station dedicated to their craft. Although, research facilities could easily be inside the engineering section. Just my thoughts.. --[[User:RogueGypsy47|RogueGypsy47]] 21:13, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

::: Well, right now I'm in the midst of a personal crisis as I have come to the realization that my deck #s are completely wrong :) I calculated the ranges assume that length of the base = 935 decks. Then it occured to me that I should have been going by the stated LENGTH and not number of decks. Duh. So I'm trying to figure out a better computation right now, but it's clear to me that the 935 deck # does not include the hab dome, and probably not the docking bay, either.
::: I do like the breakdown you have. I'm not sure what is meant by "Interface section," but we could simply call "lower habitat" the research area, instead.
::: Also, the engineering decks don't just account for "craft," but instead all manner of maintenance-type stuff. Though, as I think about it, it occurs to me that a lot of stuff that I assumed went in the engineering area (i.e.- water recyclers, air scrubbers, etc.) would probably be "local" to where they are needed. It would be a lot of wasted energy to pipe water from deck 5 to deck 700 just to clean it. So we may want to keep the "lower habitat" the same, then break up the engineering section to include maintenance stuff (fusion reactors, a couple of the computer cores, and other big stuff) and research areas? --[[User:FltAdml.
