Yea, let's hope that if there are panels, they're attachable nicely in many ways to other pieces -- maybe primitive geometric shape panels that work on the hexagonal T.I.E.'s, Vader's T.I.E., and the Interceptor...

The ST universe, by trying to be a universe with multiple writers is always going to bring up more apparent inconsistencies which makes them more fun to play with ;) (...)
