Has anyone made an attempt at converting the Nishemani 440 ton corsair to Mongoose?

The 440 was a MegaTraveller dodge to fit the 400 ton Classic Type P's functions into one hull. Mongoose's lack of custom drives below capital class hulls makes a properly optimized 440 difficult to do, but approximations are possible.
As an aside, the silhouette of the Nishemani (from DGP materials, including the Starship Operator's Manual) is simply not capable of the Type P's trick of swallowing a Scout whole. Making room for 100 tons of cargo bay in a 440 ton hull is easy. Making room for a 100-ton arrowhead without making your 440 ton ship look *exactly* like an arrow swallower is nearly impossible, as hiding that shape, not to mention the huge three-story-tall diamond-shaped hatch, requires a LOT more than a 4-to-1 volume ratio.
Which is why my TNE version used an external grapple...

You want us to fit that 100Dton scout into that 100Dton cargo bay. Easy mate, take a few hours with the mining laser.
What you want it to still work afterwards :shock:
