#0, Lego-sparked thought

So, Lego corp has a new set out of an Eta-2 Actis with its hyperdrive ring, and as I was putting the thing together the thought struck me that, in 'current day' UF, the only reason to have a separate hyper module is the major style points, since cramming an integral one into a snubfighter, while expensive and maybe a bit technically tricky - especially in something the Eta-2's size - is quite possible.

Warp drives, however, are not only faster than hyperdrives, but considerably bulkier, especially when you want to talk about higher warp factors.

And damned if that ring's engine pods don't look quite a bit like warp nacelles.

ETA: Brickset's description of the set

Ja, -n
(Taz want know why for DCF us such stupid link syntax?)
