[Spaceships] Life Pods as Habitat Options

Yes, the launcher rule is weird. No way 32 cm or even 48 cm missile matches the UT lifepod, which seems to be the intention. I might be willing to rule it that a dedicated "lifepod launcher" can completely replace a missile launcher. Still seems wrong. I prefer hangars and habitats.

I think the problem here is how Spaceships goes by the tonnage and ignores volumes and size modifiers. 32 cm missile weighs the same as a lifepod, so they're equals, never mind the diameter. This has also caused me to ponder how certain ships fit certain hangars, but I decided to ignore that problem.
