This is one of the more interesting proposals I've seen in a while. Much
potential.

What might be another option, which would not require a redesign of
existing ships, would be to leave the existing bays as is, and add
another
system.

Think of it as the difference between an MT missile and an SML. Make a
new
internal bay system, which perhaps takes up less mass because of the
lack
of integrated launch facilities, and a launch system. That way you can
try
either design method.
