Drop tanks and external cargo / Component pods

[Snarfbuckle]

I was thinking (yea, dangerous that)...

Why not add the following to the game that we can place on weapon mounts similar to how we can add different modules on airplanes today.

-Drop Tanks (Fuel: 2-4-8-16 depending on hardpoint size)

-Cargo Pods (Cargo: 2-4-8-16 depending on hardpoint size)

-Internal Components (Weapon mount size -1 equals the size of a module that can be added so a small mount cannot hold an internal component like a discovery scanner)

It would give ships greater flexibility while sacrificing firepower.

I've often wondered why we don't have the ability to carry extra ammo or fuel storage, especially if it means the ability to provide them to other players. These would be interesting, though I can't help feeling there would be repercussions.

You can for fuel, and transfer it with limpets
