Seeing as this suggestion would require a substantial rebuild for each flip (the
beams in question are buried deep within the triangular support frames), I think
I'll stick with the original plan and continue with the Galactica, at least

reassembly at the Imperial Star Yards. Thanks for sharing your in-depth knowlege
