Cheers chaps, It's snowing rather heavy hear in Scotland BTW.

I thought I needed stronger dandruff shampoo ;-)

It would need someone to design and build a model but it proves the concept is sound and creates something different which serves the same purpose as Palpatine moving around in a regular shuttle.

It could have a flat stained glass dome on the top in the shape of the Imperial Insignia (adding a bit of Monroville styling to the mix).

Needs a mockup of what the Parade Deck/Main Hanger would look like with a giant elevator instead of a shuttle.

Maybe it could be sort of circular like the parade ground in AOTC.
