Alright, I think I have a better idea. I changed some stuff in the project, maybe it will be better in your opinion. I'm thinking about a torpedo boat if this is a good choice. Here is the modified project:

Project Hummingbird

The project's goal is to fill the gap between the Defiant-class and the Archer-class so we can have a more manoeuvrable ship that can hit somewhat hard on lighter capital ships. The first task is to choose a ship that can be easily accessed for us. I've chosen the CTE-12400 Condor-class civilian gunboat. I send every important data about the class.

Condor-class

"Designed with a generous power supply and adequate armor, the CTE-12400 Condor is still a rare sight in Sirius. The ship is a new design adapted from an obsolete Zoner model. Built and maintained by various organisations unable to develop or acquire military ships, the Condor is typically used for heavy escort, or, in the hands of terrorists, to deal with a heavy escort." - Short description.



Technical information:

Guns/Turrets: 0 / 6

Other equipment:
1 Cruise Distruptor Slot
1 Countermeasure Slot

Hull strength: 125,000
Cargo space: 450 units
Nanobots/Batteries: 350/350
Max. impulse speed: 80 m/s
Max. thrust speed: 140 m/s
Max. cruise speed: 350 m/s
Power output: 500,000 u
Power recharge: 50,000 u/s

Base concept

First Phase: Arsenal

First of all we do work from what we have so we will try to test existing weapon systems on the "Hummingbird" -this will be the name of the ship- If we found a fitting one -we are aiming for a torpedo boat loadout so we can bomb enemy ships from distance- we can continue with the Second Phase.

Second Phase: Mounting

Our long-term plan is to mount 3 torpedoes on the Hummingbird, for this, we can give up some of the powercore and the energy recharge because it isn't really needed for launching torpedoes. This way we can have a smaller generator and more ammunition can be fitted.
For now 2 Nova Torpedo launcher and 1 Incapacitator Torpedo launcher would be enough for testing, but first we have to use the already accessable ones on the market.

Third Phase: Defense

In the near future we will need a stronger hull and/or shield, because we have to stand the hammering from the light capitals somehow. But this isn't the most important task for now.

Regards, Dayton
