Oh, just thought of another possible concern. If these ships are deployed out in the Deep Black, and their heavier fleetmates are destroyed, would they have enough provisions aboard to make it back to friendly space?

I would hope they've got some kind of docking umbilicals, and they just don't show up on the design sheet. Since the alternative is that the crew are sealed in after the hull is finished and the only way out is by Transporter.

No. Call it incentive to overperform at the escort role.
I think you are exaggerating our losses quite significantly. That said they don't appear to have a use outside of local defense or escorts for something with the supplies to keep them operating far from home.
The 24th century Thunderchild would just be a 4km Aeon Czar launching 24th century Selachii. I want this so bad now lol.

The crews will find ways to cram supplies into every nook and cranny. Bet you every bunk will have a few dozen emergancy rations hidden under the mattress before they even leave port for the frist time.

We might be able to stretch things by going the submariner route. Pack supplies and food EVERYWHERE they can fit. Under bunks, in maintenance compartments, put shelves in the hallways.

I just like it Piranha are esencial cleaners of the amazon and vicius if
if they are provoked.
By the way, what do you think about making a ship that follows the Remora fish concept in the future?
Small ships that attach to a larger and faster ship to transport them in long distances and that take off when exiting the system.

(The relevant supply is antimatter, which requires rather more specialized storage.)

This thing has a higher Alpha and Max Sustained than the NX, and two of them have a higher Alpha Strike than the Thunderchild.
Making two of these also costs less than an NX, and making four costs less than one Thunderchild.
This is our Shark equivalent of a "Print small ships to do a lot of damage".

[X] UES Falcon
An incredibly fast agile bird domesticated by humans to hunt other birds.
[X] UES Mako
Fastest Shark Species, not quite as big as some other sharks.
[X] UES Kite
Similar to the falcon being a bird of Prey, but I feel like the name also fits the shape of it.
[X] UES Skate
Out of the standard names Skate fits really well too,if you actually look at a skate from above they really look like this ship, also Skates are usually smaller than Rays, so that fits too.

What do you want to bet that later built hulls of this class will have hallway supply lockers built in?

Not for this project but whatever replaces this one I'd like to suggest Dragonfly, Dragonflies are some of the most successful hunters on the planet with a greater than 90% kill rate.

What's next, NX refit or new auxiliary ship?
Edited it in so you have the civvie cost + the military cost. So it's represented there, I guess. I don't see the civilian number coming in relevant except in total war situations, though. Might constrain the number of ships you can put out, I suppose. I welcome any suggestions for a less confusing way to label it, though.

You know what's hilarious, this tiny ship masses 10,000 tonnes more than the Battleship Bismark.(When fully loaded without it's combat load the Bismark would be nearly 20,000 lighter)
I just find that really funny for some reason.
Also half the mass and length of the Stingray, really this thing is tiny but also really big.

Mostly for me liking how it sounds, rather than anything else.
This will be a very very angry little arrowhead.
