Interior Colony Ports.
Interior Colony Ports.
So in a number of series (ZZ, War in the Pocket, Destiny) we see that colonies have an interior bay that allows a ship to land in the colony. Why is this exactly? What purpose does a ship landing inside of a colony serve? Repairs seem to be done in the exterior bay, and many ships seem to be made on Earth, or in the larger Lunar Cities or Asteroid bases. Is it for larger scale repairs, entry of service ships, or use on colonies that manufacture ships?
