I always thought the two silver points where solid, but looking again,
they do look hollow. The supports could be on the inside to make it look
nicer. I would guess that they would use the nicest looking moon boat
they have to transport the Coders around.
This makes me wonder is they make small pleasure moon boats for the very very rich. For the ultimate in Lunar noble transport, come to Moon Boat Pleasure Lines! Call now, boats are limited! Of course, if you are summoned to meet the Emperor and he sends his one of his personal moon boats to get you (the one painted blood red with dead bodies hanging from it) you know you're in trouble.
