As far as I understand it the Acceleration is only for in system movement and the long part of the journey is the wrap part and not effected by it.

Yes.
You need to transit through system to get far enough out from gravity wells to enter Warp
That's why naval battles can even happen. If people could just teleport from orbital to orbital, there'd never be time to do an intercept.

You can dump that if you like. It would make it easier for turning around/docking/undocking/dodging random space debris.
Not really, not unless you want them to go in guns blazing and start executing people.
RE: Internal Security
Generally, the higher you go, the better an Equipment gets. Here, the higher you get in the IS tree, the deadlier boarding becomes. You want, at most, Improved Internal Security taken twice/thrice for sheer bodies to ensure power is projected and any who would start shit get hit within minutes of it starting, instead of hours.

Thank you for clarifying!
So, 2x Improved Internal should be enough, the point is generally 4-ish DP worth of Security to reasonably keep things from getting out of hand, right? Or would 4x Internal Security Systems be better under the circumstances just because we need pure saturation rather than sheer killing power?

I'd go with three and five, to be quite honest here.

Alright, I'll make it happen, thank you for clarifying all this.
EDIT: Done, had to cut down on mass, but the lack of guns should let us pull it off given how focused this ship's design is.

I would not add Internal Security Systems to a ship designed to haul food, instead spend the point on a weapon, and the only one that can work a bit on ships this slow are hangars.

It's mostly in the off chance we get a stowaway or saboteur or something. Hence why it's only one point.

What do we use the 4 reaming DP for?
Maybe an fleet repair and support vessel or an an Hymns of the Machines vessel?

I don't think we've got anything that would be relevant honestly.

It's probably worthwhile to split up the Light Freighter into two designs, if you have the DP left over.
Give one light freighter enhanced supply generation (what's the point of a large civilian manufactory if the freighter carrying it has neither cargo holds nor the mining shuttles to supply it?), the other all the medical and relief stuff.

Huh, seems i didn't actually post my comment on that...
So, cutting is AI -> doesn't need training?
If we can use a Choir to put a different section of the ship into enforced naptime: THIS. We absolutely need this.
We should put in an AP next turn to get Slumber and Paths.

I'd really prefer to fill other needs with those DP. Specifically I think we absolutely need a stealth boarder to ensure we can take the existing freighters. We can't afford those ships fleeing into the Van Zandt duchy. If we do that then hundreds of billions die of starvation no matter what.
We also need a rustbucket for hymns to move all these freighters around. The repair ship is kind of optional, I don't think these two designs are.
@Alectai I'm swamped at work, do you think you could slap together those two?

Honestly I'd say the Orders of the Guiding Hands would be the best module for getting the refugees integrated with their destination.
Maybe a general cargo/passenger hauler?
main use is to move food and good around our systems with a secondary job off moving civilians
I had 3 points left over at the end so it got shrines and Civilian Supply Generation to help if it encounters a planet in need while travelling

Can confirm.
Seems like I accidentally added one while upgrading the old versions to the new ones. Fixed!
Hmmm, we could go ahead and make a Light Cruiser design. Like the Corona that I've seen meant to be a squad leader for the Sagittariuses with a Rad Lance.

Under the old scout rules this 8 DP destroyer should only cost 1 FP to build - though that would need @HeroCooky acknowledgement, as well as the question of if boarding hangers come with their own troops, or if I need to stick an Augmetic Security Department or small troop compartment onto the below ship.
Then there's the stealth boarding frigate, which is basically a reskinned Chameleon with a boarding focus. Made it a tiny bit slower to fit in a light Teleportarium. Figure that it's worth it to be able to deliver a small augmentic strike team to the Freighter's bridge.
