T20 Conglomerate Ship (Repost)

(Originally posted just before the server crash.)

I needed a ship that would be very difficult to totally destroy and easy to repair. Using a bit of a hand wave I ignore the fact that a meson gun hit would destroy multiple sections. If it only destroys one section then it would take many meson gun hits to destroy a large conglomerate ship. For example, a 3x3x3 cube would take 9 meson gun hits to totally destroy. Since each 100 ton section is self contained so the entire ship has the capabilities as each section.

1x Gunner
16 x Ships Troops

Description:
This is a single modular unit. Many of these are joined together in either a closed
or open structure. Each can function independant of the others and if one is disabled the
remaining crew can transfer to the low berths of one of the others. Each acts as a backup
to the others so the entire conglomerate structure is very difficult to totally disable.
 
Interesting idea - but I think I'm missing the point. What's the purpose? What advantage does the conglomerate have over a fleet of an equal number of ships?
 
I haven't worked out the details yet, but basically each small ship has one hardpoint. Having them physically in the same structure means that the hardpoints can be arranged in batteries, thus giving an increased chance to hit.
