Footprint. You know, how much space they take up. Example, a small tat house is 4x3. In the overhead grid view when you place the deed. Im trying to plan a city here

Khristen, I think your numbers are off. A garage takes up less space than a shuttle.

Nope. It looks like it does when it's placed, but that's what it uses on the placing grid.

No need to apologize.
It really *does* look way too small to be a 5x5 footprint.
It also looks really weird if you try and place it in an area with ditches. The shuttleport, garages, and gardens have a tendency to look for the lowest part of the ground as the base of the structure (unlike houses that level out on the highest point and put foundation underneath). So you can have half-buried structures in your city. Actually, it looks kind of cool on Tatooine or Lok because it makes it seem like a sandstorm came in and buried it.
