Welcome to the premise of 40k.
Without Interal Security 1/2: *Squelch*
With Interal Security 1/2: *'ERE WE G-Squelch*
Oh, that's a neat little bit of lore. And yah, I can see why they started doing that and shows the learning experience we picked up from other wars.

Ship on ship we were fine. I'm talking about for when they board our ships.
Ah... shit.
Does any of our ships have internal security?
Yup! Our lineholders.
But the Leo's don't. Whoops.
I mean, You don't manage to maintain being THE sole Galactic Superpower for 10 Millennium against Eldritch Gods, Rampaging Bioweapon Fungi, Elves and their bondage cousins and the Zergs bigger brother, While being a bureaucratic Mess of incompetence and petty bullshit without a hell of a lot of advantages in spite of that. The imperial military has managed to maintain a Galactic Stranglehold DESPITE being an institution that was Crippled from its very inception, Expecting them to be without their advantages is laughable.

We might need to rely on the Lamenters to perform counter-boarding actions if we're up against enemies that love to send their troops deep into the guts of our ships.

It should be noted we're not that weak to Orks. Yeah, if they get on board right now that causes problems, but all of our ships are absurdly fast/manueverable for whatever size they are, and Strikecraft are very useful.
This isn't, "They're chumps" by any means, but I feel like we're more likely to have the doctrinal advantage over them than visa versa, as things currently stand.

Sorry for not replying until now, I finally just got off work.
You seem to have misread my intentions for this craft. It isn't meant to replace the Sagi, but to augment it. Its primary purpose it get that rad-lance into play and help the Sagi's bypass/punch though the Dutchy's shields. Especially now that we know that they can share their shields between ships (it'll also help with our other ships too in getting past their shields). Also, I am loathe to put more than 2 prow lances (one rad/one regular) on the Corona as I don't want to have the same detriment that the Sagi has, since it'll be slightly harder for the Corona to flee any rush-down attacks than the Sagi'. And the Dutchy has a lot of destoyers. I do agree that we'd only need to field maybe 2 or 3 of these ships per battlegroup.
As shown in the previous battle, our fighter swarm defenses are not impregnable. If they set off a null-pulse in close quarters, then they can strip away our strikecraft or at least scatter them temporarily and possibly get a brace of torpedos through during that period of vulnerability. The Felis would be there as the second layer of our defensive onion.
I'm also not making it a destroyer because its supposed to bully the enemy destroyers and for that we'll need something that can take a bit of hit rather than skirmish while having the weight of fire to make them think twice about lining up a torpedo run on our Leo's or what have you, and still having just enough speed to intercept any 'ride or die' attacks on our backlines.
That's said, I might be willing to wait for the plasma rotary macro-cannons to outfit this ship with them.
Actually, @HeroCooky, if the Dutchy were to set off a null pulse close to our larger ships, will that also completely kill the crews there too? Or was it just because our strikecraft are generally more vulnerable to its effects?

Again, you misunderstand the point of the ship. With better understanding of the enemy's disposition, the Felis is actually meant to be on the front to midlines to help stem the inevitable flood of destroyer/torpedo spam coming at us and leaking through our lines. It has the weight of fire (equivalent to 6 light macro's) plus the improved accuracy to slap away any enemy destroyer squadrons gunning for our heavier ships on the battleline, as well as the anti-torp PD to help mitigate their torp spam.

Yeah, I think after we standardize Autoloaders and find another way to get more a little more DP we should be able to fit in the Augmetic Security Wing in the Leo-S

...Why would we need control of Voxx for that? The idea isn't to terraform Voxx.
