Thanks Brendan...

     While not converting from Battletech Omni Fighters, but borrowing
some 
from the idea, and the following the idea I have for my primary fleet of
with 
the ability Swap out modular parts of the hull, for different roles.   I
knew 
that the hanger had space, but was trying to figure how much "extra"
space it 
has.
     The idea someone else had modular fighters, I wanted to see how
they 
handled the "pods".    I like the idea of each hanger bay carrying 2
configs, and 
for each other add 1 Masss Cargo..   

Have a Good One,
