Improvement: Galaxy Modular Platform

[FireStormNova]

I can see the Galaxy being able to fill most air roles by becomming a modular platform with many different customizations and upgrading.
Many militarys in the world have ben useing vehicles with modular customizable platforms.
It would probly change the core look of the Galaxy but increase its varity and useage.
Filling roles it has now and making new ones: Gunship , Troop Transport , Heavy Vehicle Transport , Airborne early warning , Airborne electronic warfare , Also being able to deploy / transform at forward ground locations : Spawn point for troops , Repair and Supply point for vehicles , Command and Control link for commanders.
Well i think you guys get the idea? What do you guys think?

I like the idea!

Galaxy
The standard Galaxy could be given more options; as it is the vehicle bay is very rarely used, and when it is the vehicle is often so light that it only lasts a matter of seconds before it is destroyed. While this would be kept as an option, I would like the Galaxy to be given more options, allowing it to fill more support roles as it is so rare. As noted above the Galaxy would have an additional AMS style equipment terminal. In addition to this the vehicle bay could be removed and the pilot could then fit it out with a spawn point which works when it is deployed or there are spaces in the infantry seats. The pilot could also have the option of replacing the vehicle bay with extra infantry seats: either an extra 6 normal slots or 4 more MAX slots. This change could also be made in the standard passenger slots, allowing the Galaxy to carry 4 more MAX units. Lots of options for the pilot, so here they are in brief:

• Vehicle Bay (existing)
• Extra seats
• Extra MAX seats
• Spawn Point
• Gunship (existing)

Galaxy Gunship
The Gal gunship would get 2 heavy weapon slots, which are larger than the PS weapons. I have done this to allow the gunship to take on more roles; for example as a heavy bomber (2 Liberator bomb bays) or a proper long range AC10 style gunship.

Yea I also think modular systems have alot of potential and they would not have to make 1000's of different vehicles with a modular type system.
Thanks

I really feel that too many things (like cloaking seen in that link), could hurt the Galaxy more than helping it. Rather than modular in too many functions, aka, ALL functions, I'd prefer more functions on the ways it works at the current point and time (more drop options, more gun variants, more gun TYPES, and as put, more carry types).

The Galaxy is a dropship, capable of some support and going full support, but it should always still seem like a dropship one way or another, even if it only carries a crew. But I do like the idea of 2 heavy weapon ports for the GG (oh man, those quad Gatlings they posted before... I'm drooling over it).

But most of the modules have been put out before (many by me), so you should look them up and try to make the post more specific to get it spotted by the devs. And try to add in something unique no reader can pass on.
