Fighter Bay Armor Type

"You're right, also the large transport hull holds more engines than a dreadnought for the same hull size. I guess the balance arises when you consider the amount of research it takes to get these hulls. Or not."

Dreads can mount ANYTHING, large transports have to mount 50% cargo components. Ditto carriers.

A bit late on this, but:

In the B5 Mod, there are two types of 'external' fighter mounts that make use of the armor idea. The External Fighter Rail and the Launch Catapult.

The armor ability is also given to External Cargo Pods.

You can do this, but it wouldn't be a mount - it would be a duplicate Version of the component, with the Armor attribute and smaller size and fewer hitpoints.
