>>10615759instead of being able to make bases from preexisting, warehoused pieces, you want to add a plethora of ridiculously sized single-use pieces that are a pain in the fucking ass to move and store in any significant volume, require MASSIVE million dollar molds or for fuck's sake vaccuform, fuck up automation, and don't diminish the current part portfolio/logistic demand by replacing anything.
>>10615762Making the raised baseplates in the first place would be the disconnect. You're never going to convince the bean counters that a few nostalgiafags on the internet are worth the investment. That would be by definition a schism between marketing and production. I get that you want them, that's fine, but you don't have the perspective or willingness to understand how ludicrous it would be to make a reality.
