Swappable Components

[Mark]

Everything on a starship looks modular to me honestly. From the bridge to the very saucer and stardrive sections on most ships. Warp cores CERTAINLY are. It only makes sense on ships that are EXPECTED to take damage.

Why would anyone create troop barracks for a ship that wasn't going to carry troops?

Why would anyone design a ship without enough crew to man it? Or design a modular ship that needs extensive dock time to swap them out?

*cough*LCS*cough*

Because it looks good on paper and probably got someone promoted/a raise/a BJ.

That's what I mean. The "modularity" should have a primary function of making repairs and maintenance easier, not for just swapping our blocks when a simple interior conversion will do.

Close, White Scars Stormseer. The Khan pic I have doesn't work to well at 150x 150.

Well I was just saying. Of course something like that may not be permanent.

On the other hand, troop transports sometimes may not carry troops...
