Re: .....
Hrm...maybe a system of "Active" and "Inactive" components would be involved. I imagine that this can actually play a role for non-transforming ships and such, too...like a battleship making a long-range trip, needs fuel supplies and disables it's weapons and battle shields in supposedly friendly territory. It makes good distance, and suddenly a cloaked enemy ship ambushes it, causing great damage and such due to the weapons and shields being "Inactive".
The ship survives, and doesn't have much fuel, and poor hull integrity...it uses the fuel pods, and disables all non-critical functions, and enables "boosters" to increase it's warp speed/impulse power or the like to run to the nearest space dock as quickly as possible...
Yes, I guess it is somewhat crazy, heh.
