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 supporte quipment. 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 1mass 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).

Thanks Brendan...
While not converting from Battletech Omni Fighters, but borrowing some from the idea, and the following the idea I have for my primary fleet of with the ability Swap out modular parts of the hull, for different roles. I knew that the hanger had space, but was trying to figure how much "extra" space it has.
The idea someone else had modular fighters, I wanted to see how they handled the "pods". I like the idea of each hanger bay carrying 2 configs, and for each other add 1 Masss Cargo..
Have a Good One,
