Hi everyone, as of late, I've become obsessed with the submarine editor.
I have a concept for a big submarine, that to my knowledge hasn't been done before.

My question goes as follows: Would it be possible to make a submarine that can split into two? My guess is that a part of a submarine could be done as a "shuttle" that is docked by default in the other and can freely separate and reconnect.

In case that this is possible, could I go even further and have 2 more shuttles? One docked in each of the two separable main hull sections? I'm unfamiliar with the shuttle mechanics, and suspect that shuttles can't have shuttles of their own, but I would gladly be proven otherwise.

It is my dream to create a submarine based on a U.S.S Voyager, but with the saucer separation tech allowing it to operate as two independent vessels as depicted in the behind-the-scene schematics. That's the easy part, but both of those sections contain hangars, in which I would like to dock a captain's yacht for exploration and combat support, and a delta flyer for mining and extermination missions in narrow cave systems.

I'd be very grateful for any insight into the shuttle/drone tech or general assessment of my idea.
