I think this would be handy. Say you have a 4 Slot compartment. You want to run a one slot pieces of equipment such as normal scanner and Detailed surface scanner. Why not allow the internal compartment to be reconfigured at the star ports for a price to allow Two 1 slot compartments and a 2 slot one out of the 4. That way you could have the two scanners and some cargo space.(I really hope this is making sense) otherwise I feel it is just wasting space.
