As far as modular ship rules for the Romulans, you can go cheap conversion like TangoTarheel noted, or keeping with the pods + ship theme for the battletugs just setup a cost that seems right. The basic Hawk (sans pods) would have a cost slightly higher than its ship class (basically a CL so use yo...

Yep, I had spotted this in the TLADIS campaign diary (well, the Police trait, which is similar) and they are perfect...
