I do like the concept of a utility ship. Very much so, in fact, what with everything being so combat-oriented.
I'm just not sure LFs are the best fit for it : all the time reading your post, I thought "Yeah, that sounds like what a freighter would do !", including the sitting by a big fight, acting as a command & control unit.
Packing so many systems in ships designed to be small and evasive seems counter-intuitive, as opposed to the larger freighters, which would have stronger power at their disposal to handle all the fancy tech.
That being said, I'm extremely in favour of an in-depth rework of the LF class. I love HFs, I've come to terms that they didn't need to be anything other than more agile and zippy versions of VHFs... Which leaves LFs in an unfortunate, redundant and fairly all-or-nothing position as you've described. Going the utility way is definitely the right path as I see it, and making use of PoB-manufactured stuff is certainly a good idea.
