What do your tankers carry? Is it hydrogen and oxidiser for fuel cells, radioactives or just water for fusion reactors?
If a tanker suffers catastrophic damage and its load is explosive, how big a bang does it make? How many D6 at what mu? Ideas welcome.
If its water could it function as a level 1 or 2 vapour shroud with the last vector of the ship and would a 6mu diameter cloud be too big? In that vein can a tanker carrying water vent some to give an impromptu level 1 vapour shroud?

Yes, the pods are the same on all the ships (NSL, FSE, NAC and yes,
there will be some ESU ones
soon).....
PSB reason: at some rare moment in which they weren't all actively
fighting each other, the Major Powers agreed on a standard spec for
military cargo/tanker modules - it simplifies resupply between
allies, and the fact that this means anyone's captured pods can be
carried off by the enemy is balanced out by the fact that it works
both ways.....
Real Life reason: ease of manufacture and customisation potential! ;-)
You COULD drill a small hole into both the pod and its mounting point
and inset very small round magnets, or you could possibly get away
with magnetic strip and steel paper, though this would of course make
the pods stand a little proud of their normal positions.
