[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I'm of the opinion that the GCS we saw in the war were all on the production line already, so it makes sense for all of them to ship out with both sections intact and together, thus keeping all the fun stuff in their hulls that I mentioned previously. You could probably build several smaller ships for the resource cost of one GCS, which is probably what they ended up doing in addition to finishing what they've got in dock. The only expections would probably those GCS in the prelimiary assembly phase, where those resources would be better put to use elsewhere. The hull itself may have something to do with it, as we know that an intact hull is vital to optimal warp speeds - possibly even more than the mass of the ship itself. If the engines were built for optimal performance as a whole ship, you might prefer to keep it together. And as speculated before, some of them could be outfitted for other missions, too; with some simple barracks, you could transport LOTS of troops and support in there. An quick internal expansion of the main shuttlebay would give a place for dozens of fighters. And of course, for the extra weapons and stuff too. There's place for any of these possibilities in the big fleet battles we saw, which involved needing to get to, capture, and then hold a strategic location. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
