How about some kind of machine/repair shop, or an observation dome?

Dome - gives me an idea!
I'd think the Starship Repair shop, has small connected shops for machine repair, but your observation dome gives me some ideas... Steel General!
1. Observation dome to look at surrounding areas of colony structure - your idea.
2. Telescope or similar technology to view surrounding star systems.
3. Planetary Gun pointed at the sky - located in its own inside chamber where the roof opens up for orbital assault.
Keep giving me more ideas - this really helps!

How 'bout an Illudium PU-37 Space Modulator?

Link didn't work for me.
Sorry, Ascension, the link didn't work for me, but then that was a WAV file, and I don't have speakers on my PC...
Anyway, I got some better ideas now. Since this is supposed to be a generic space colony tile set, I don't want to cater to one kind of possible alien world. Note the family module sits in a desert or moonlike terrains. What if this was a colony on an ice world, a water planet, an airless moon - I really have no idea of the intended use by a given GM for this tiles.
So, I thought I'd create some of the next 4 - 6 tiles as "Points of Egress" to various types of worlds... on a water planet a contained submarine portage for a submarine colony, on an iceworld snowcats or contained snowmobiles near a snowy entrance, and a train or subway station for something like Toff's venus railway map!
Enough talk, hopefully I can get a tile or two finished before the nights over.

Point of Egress 1: Submarine Portage
Experiment, a point of egress: the Submarine Portage. This could be used as the portage for a water world planetary colony. You guys know how much I love using water in my maps, and here's a texture I've wanted to use, but had no place for - now I got a place for it!
I figure that most of this submarine is below the waves, so its much larger than it appears in the map.
The upper deck of the pier has a Port Authority office and passenger and crew access, the lower pier is for cargo handling.
The first map is full dimensions at 16" x 20" or 80' x 100' at 100 ppi JPG, the remaining four are exact quarters of this map in 8" x 10" scale so they can be easily printed, then cut to edges and used to piece together a full 16" x 20" map. Quarters are 200 ppi JPGs.
That's it for tonight - I will continue on with this project and see where it goes.
So what other Points of Egress should I create - access/port for an ice planet, airless planet, train/subway station, ...what else?

Oh, nevermind my wav file there, it was just Marvin the Martian from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons saying "Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!" The points of egress is an excellent idea as it allows for a huge degree of flexibility. Keep on keepin on.
