They're designed to operate independently of one another, so every Macross fleet has to have a capacity for every industry. What Sheryl's description suggests is that every fleet has the freedom to organize these capacities in different manners. Frontier is much like Macross 7 in that it uses specialized ships for different purposes. The contrast with Macross Galaxy is that it seems the latter's Island One also contains a fair amount of industry, and that it doesn't have the aesthetic touches that Frontier has. It's also a good idea to keep in mind that Sheryl's account may be colored by the fact that she doesn't like Galaxy; and that it might be much nicer than she makes it sound.
