"Following the philosophy of UNSC ships, the NAC BuShips decided to
create 
the SF-14 Firestorm fighter with a modular design. The reason for this
was 
primarily for spatial considerations and strategic flexibility (your
choices were 
to have several different fighters that performed different roles
exclusively, 
or to have one type of fighter that could be refitted between actions to
fill 
other roles as needed). The SF-14 normally would be considered a
'multi-role' 
combat fighter, but there would be modules available to carriers so that
it 
could be refitted as an 'air superiority' (borrowing the term from the
late 20th 
century) anti-fighter fighter, an anti-shipping attack fighter, or a
torpedo 
bomber. In addition to this thruster packs or booster pods were
available to 
give it a higher speed, as well as extra fuel tanks to give it extended 
endurance during combat missions.
 The NAC ASF-7 Phanton heavy fighter was designed along similar lines as
the 
SF-14, only it was constructed with more armor and had a tougher
structural 
integrity that allowed it to survive hits that would cripple the SF-14.
Many 
carriers carried extra parts and modules to refit their heavy fighter
squadrons 
if the captain thought it was prudent for a given assignment. Otherwise
the 
ASF-7s were just beefier versions of the SF-14s."

Now should a force equiped with Omni-Fighters, still be able to place 6 
fighters in a Mass 9 Hanger bay, and having the ability to retrofit pods
per 
current needs, or should the carrier need to alot Cargo space to have
extra "pods 
available"?

I'm interested as for my homegrown fraction I'm looking at Modular/Omni 
Fighters.
