IMHO a 'reconfigurable' ship must be bought as
well as all the modules the ship can 'morf'
into. In a campaign the modules must sit
somewhere and are useless mass waiting to
be taken by the enemy, unless they are
cargo on a freighter somewhere, which
costs additional points.
These are probably not cost effective
if one looks at a stratigic implication of
spending lots on points on optional (and
unusable) modules or buying non-combat
support ships to carry them around so the
enemy does not capture them.
Bye for now,
