I've already got torpedo/missile tubes marked out on the sub diagram I've been posting.
Habitat modules: Yes, we need these. If it's not going to be able to generate internal gravity, then they're a requirement. These are the Macross' forward eyes. They might be out only a week, they might need to lay doggo for a month at a time. Crews will be rotated "as often as practical", which usually means "whenever they're forced to return to the SDF-1".
Heat management ... this is a big 'un, it is. It all depends on the amount of hard physics we're going with. Are those RCS packs earth-built units reclaimed when they were deemed no longer necessary for the SDF? Or are they overtechnology units salvaged from a wrecked Zentraedi scout, or the SDF's own spare-parts stores?--
"Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of General Zod has been approved."

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
