    Not generally, but if you must... I would not allow the full benefit, say a DM+1 on some important roll. Perhaps a half-size Med bay...

    Sure, and the rules say: MgT2 JTAS#3, p88 says: Just like the CT Cutter, but unlike how internal modular hulls work in HG'22. So...

    Not under current HG rules. The current modular cutter, as usual, isn't made under the rules. It has obviously been possible since the...

    Internal "modules", "breakaway" sections, and external "pods" are different mechanisms, with different properties. Choice is good.

    I would disagree... A cargo hold is a specialised fitting intended for heavy objects with e.g. fixing points. Just like fuel tanks they...

    Jump nets are not well-defined, but I would call that an exploit. Jump nets are for "cargo" that can withstand vacuum, perhaps ore...

    Getting a large bay into Short range for a called shot isn't trivial, but perfectly doable: 2200 Dt, just large enough to ignore crits...
