Condottiere said:You don't actually need to construct breakaway hulls, to modularize.
Also, if you podularize, the same applies.
In My designs I used 2 - Type V docking clamps on the cargo module. The "Tractor Ships" are each less than 2,000-Dtons. That is how I got around the breakaway ship thing. I build them as separate ships instead of one ship that breaks into 3. The largest part of the cargo module, apart from the cargo and the 2 docking clamps, is the power plant to provide power for the entire 10,000-Dton cargo module. It is still hauling around 9,600 tons of just cargo.
