Make the Iteron line a single modular ship

While flying one of these Iteron variation (Eptihal, Mark V, Kryos, etc.), I had a idea :

Why not making all these ships into a single modular one ? With just one subsystem, to change the type of the second hold or give one bigger normal cargohold ?

The actual design of the ships would easily allow that visually speaking.

I am completely ambivalent on the subject.

I wouldn't have been opposed if they had made it that way initially, but I really can't see a decent reason to change it now.

If it's not broke, don't encourage them to "fix" it.

Maybe they could with this add some variants ? Like ammo, gas, and ice for example. But you're right that just making the same exact thing in a different way is not a "better".

Modules that add specialized bays at significant downsides do sound rather interesting though.

Say a lowslot mod that add 2k of a specialized bay, but cut armor by 10%.

So you could take a vexor and slap 5 of them on it to add a 10k m3 ore bay, at the cost of being paper thin.

Like a bunch of jerry cans haphazardly strapped to the side of your ship.
