The culling doesn't seem to take vehicle docks into account. If there are 2 or more consecutive vehicle docks in the same hull section, the maximum auxiliary craft size should be vehicle SM-2. If all six hull systems in a section are docks the max size would be SM-1, but there should be a core system in that section to hold it together (unlike an upper stage).
Dalton “can you say 'MC-100 modular cutter'?” Spence
PS.: Apparently Vehicle Docks and Streamlining don't mix. If that is so, it should be mentioned on the Optional Rules sheet. (So much for my Fly-Back Booster. :( )
