I would really like to be able to upgrade my Bridge.
I have two cargo holds that I rarely fill so I tried to swap out a cargo hold for a Capital Bridge in the hope that I could then replace the Bridge with other stuff. Unfortunately the bureaucrats at the starport say no! I cannot remove the bridge first because you need a bridge to fly. I cannot swap out the cargo hold first; I get the dialogue saying I will loose cargo space which is bad and just get the 'cancel' option. I don't think there is any point sacking an officer to provide temporary accommodations for the Captain since I think they will refuse to leave the Bridge. So I guess I'm on a fools errand.
I appreciate that the current situation is quite artificial since we cannot buy new ships, but looking ahead to the Broadsword class (which looks pretty fearsome), it has a Bridge and five cargo holds. If you are mostly mission focussed for your income, then being able to swap bridges would (in my opinion) be quite useful. You would have another option to increase soak as skills build and you would free-up a medium slot which have a wide range of alternate components available.
Would it be possible to put some component checks in place so that you cannot leave the starport unless you have one bridge fitted, but that let you swap bridges around please?
