IMTU , YMMV .. Regarding initial scout bases on worlds with E/X starports... The IISS has 1 and 3dton "kits" that are effectively a smaller version of an Advanced Base. They make extensive use of inflatable tents that are resin-impregnated so they harden after being set up in UV light for a few hours. The upper portions of the tents are flexible solar cells, charging batteries in the flooring. Slots are placed for plugging in two standard PLSS to handle life support needs. Each tent has 2 to 4 "vestibules" that can attach to another tent, and the join sprayed with sealant. The kit includes a pair of "Airlock" mini-tents that can be attached to two points. Each tent comes with some inflatable furniture, and a duffle-bag sized crate of equipment. The 1 ton package is intended for use by a long term survey team, and has an "Ops/Lab" tent, 4 "Quarters" tents, and a "Galley/Fresher" tent. Each tent, expanded, is about 2-4 dtons, so the "Quarters" are the same size and general layout as a Type-S cabin. The "Ops/Lab" tent has a table with various radio/comm systems and a computer. The 3 ton package is essentially the same, but has 8 "Quarters" tents, and more lab/workspace and storage tents. It also has mission-specific crates of equipment On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 11:03 PM, Kenneth Barns <xxxxxx@gmail.com> wrote: > On 27 April 2016 at 12:17, <xxxxxx@shadowgard.com> wrote: >> >> There any descriptions of scout bases out there? >> >> I'm interested in the sort that would be around as the IISS expands >> into a new area.
