Changing the wing geometry for different flight regimes is unnecessary outside an atmosphere, therefore the wings can be fully extended all the time. The only situation where I can see folding them back could be a small advantage is while taxiing inside the base, but if weapons are loaded and unloaded on the hangar deck, right before start and after landing, that's not much of a problem.<br/><br/>It's true that wingtip missiles will prevent the wings from being folded against the back of a VF in Battroid mode - but so does the underwing equipment. I'm afraid you'll have to get used to the idea of battroids with the wings sticking out, and I don't expect it to make much of a difference when operating inside Zentraedi ships and the like. We see VFs in Guardian mode operating inside ships on several occasions. If a place is big enough for a Guardian to operate with its wings extended it shouldn't be a problem for a Battroid with wings "out" either. Oh, and should it ever become a problem, I guess you'll just have to decide which equipment you'll leave behind in order to fold the wings back. Difficult decisions are always good in a roleplay, aren't they.  ;)
