Nebula Class Saucer Seperation?

First, I am not referring to Saucer Separation but simple Hull Separation.
The Nebula Class Cruiser (USS Phoenix, USS Farragut, USS Sutherland) seems to have specialized pods that have different shapes on different ships (on the Sutherland, the pod can fire Photon Torpedoes); perhaps subclasses. But what I wonder is whether that pod (in some configuration) can separate from the rest of the ship as a small, torpedo armed, Impulse-capable ship like a Runabout. Opinions?

Nope, Starfleet doesn't care enough to give it one. Sucks if you serve on one but there you go.
 
Why should there be a reason? Starfleet doesn't operate by any acknowledgeable logic that we've seen so far. Unless I see one separate I don't see why they would waste the time making it do so for a kitbash.

Because it makes no sense to do something without a logical reason. Also, the Nebula Class is not a kitbash of the Galaxy. The Nebula came first (lower registry numbers). The Galaxy is a kitbash of the Nebula. So why would Starfleet waste the time making it do so much for a kitbash (the Galaxy class). The kitbash can do more than the original [the Nebula]. By your logic, why is that?

It has severely less weapons than the Prometheus class, is she a supermassiveultrabattleship then?

Oh, and she has double separation, so...better?
 
Never mind. It just seems like a battleship with so many weapons.

@PhaserLightShow wonders why he has this stupid ambulance avatar
Not stupid anymore. It has grown on me.

@PhaserLightShow no longer wonders why he has this ambulance avatar

I didn't say the Galaxy is better then the Prometheus. But it is powerful.

I don't see the mission pod (if that's what it is) on the Nebula-class being a separate warp-capable ship like a runabout - but now that you've asked this, it does make me wonder if that would be the more logical means to separate any civilians and non-essential personnel in an emergency: since the primary hull seems like a much more integral part of the ship for the Nebula than for the Galaxy, perhaps the mission pod gets left behind as a life boat, instead?

Since when was the Galaxy class a "dreadnought"?
Since the Enterprise-C failed to impress the Klingons at Narenda III, and we ended up at war with them. What, did you think we were wearing these stupid sashes for no reason? ;)

I said the mission pod would be Impulse-Capable only. No Warp Engines. Please address what I originally said, Starship @USS Triumphant.
