Re: pic: Fueling Station with Orbit Ball

Nice looking Fueling Station!

The only thing I noticed is that the vertical "posts" supporting the top of the Airlock are all oriented parallel to the outer wall of the Crater. This increases the apparent cross-section of the posts and reduces the overall open area presented to an approaching Robot. The posts should be rotated so they are orthogonal to the front edge of the base of the Airlock. That will maximize the "open space" available for a Game Piece to pass through. I recognize that your Fueling Station is built following the provided drawings for the "Team Corner" (Drawing TE-09001). But this drawing is incorrect.

The orientation of the post supports and buttresses is correctly shown in the official field drawing of the Airlock (Drawing GE-09012). We have asked to have the "team" drawing updated so these parts are properly oriented.
