I think if we're to throw some ideas around, we might need to know if this is an alien set, or a human set.
That would lay to rest one rumor, at least.
If it's a human set, which I suspect, here's a couple ideas:
- Turbolifts. In the future, there's got to be a better way to travel from floor to floor than stairs. Even if they're non-functional, this is a necessity for any base.
- Landing bay. Something that would be modular enough to build a bay for a couple First Lights to land in, or small enough for just a shuttlecraft or escape pod.
- More variety of bunk options. Higher ranking members wouldn't be sharing a room, so a double bunk is a little out of place. Maybe a bed that can fold down from the wall?
- Bubble-dome habitats in various sizes. You could have a larger dome for more populous areas, or tiny domes for storage of hazardous materials/people. The domes might include quite a bit of transparencies.
- Connecting tunnels, to bridge the domes together. Also built with transparencies. Because a view of red desert never gets old.
These should have big, steel bulkheads to seal off areas (like Total Recall).
- Buggies! Something to tool around the planet in, when you don't need to go far enough to take the shuttlecraft. They should be the lunar-lander style, with big, oversized wheels.
- Hydroponics station. This could include a greenhouse, too. Something to produce oxygen for the base. (And something to sabotage, of course!)
- Transporter room, for the Trekkies. It should be fairly easy to plop this into the First Light, too.
- The Omega 13! (Since this may be a bit hard to do in cardstock, maybe start with just the "dumb, spinning fan we see in each episode."
