RE: [GZG] When placing Modular Fighters on carriers

["Robertson, Brendan" <Brendan.Robertson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hanger bays are already considered to have a suitable selection of stores
and weapon pods included in the mass required.  Of the 1.5 mass per fighter
of hanger space only 0.6-1.0 of the mass is the fighter and loading
equipment; the rest is launch/recovery/rearming/repair and other support
equipment.  There is a lot of empty space in a hanger.

If you want to specifically require extra storage for Omni-pods, let them
have 2 configurations available as part of the basic hanger and require 1
mass of cargo per squadron for each additional configuration.
ie.  A Mass 9 hanger + 1 cargo would have 6 fighters and carry the Prime, A
& B configuration equipment.

If you're converting for Battletech/Battlespace, remember that Battlespace
uses a 10-fighter squadron as standard (so Mass 15 hangers).

Now should a force equiped with Omni-Fighters, still be able to place 6
fighters in a Mass 9 Hanger bay, and having the ability to retrofit pods per
current needs, or should the carrier need to alot Cargo space to have extra
"pods available"?
