Design As We Go Fails (Again)

3. Well, yes, there's that too.

So at this point they can't do anything other than intercept drug runners, which is what we have the Coast Guard for.

Not to mention that the stupid thing breaks down on a regualr basis, that is to say, it loses its main propulsion system. I served on a diesel boat that was twenty years old at the time with its original diesels, and we never missed a movement order. Well, we did get underweigh on battery power once because none of the engines would start, but we got two engines running before the batteries went flat.

But, once the modules do get built and engines that run more reliably. how the fuck do they decide which one they should be carrying and what do they do if they encounter a situation for which they are equipped with the wrong module? Where are the spare modules kept, and how far away from this module storage spot can the ship operate if it has to keep coming back to port to reconfigure itself every time the mission changes?

This whole concept is FUBAR to the nth degree.
