Does everyone forget that the valley forge from silent running and its
sisters started the film with the entire spine covered in bio domes, and
only when the eco frendly man jetttisoned a dome with the other men and
a
nuke in that it was left was the drive section, spine and the pods on
the
end (as used as the agro ship in battlestar gallactica, original
series). So
it did have cargo pods crammed along the backbone (plus the biodomes
were
mainly big empty spaces, so not very effiecient as cargo pods).
