Good question. I envision that Odyssey travels with some kind of support
vessel - basically a space freighter that carries extra modules and
equipment for changing them out. I haven't built that one, and probably
won't - I have a bunch of other projects I'd like to tackle first.

By all means build one! I had (very briefly) toyed with the idea of having
steering and/or suspension on this model, but that would have been way too
complicated for me - but maybe you could make something work.
