Not sure if anyone has suggested these designs before, but some thoughts I had since I can't fall asleep. No harm no foul if they never get used.
[] [Destroyer] Urchin-class Mine-Layer
-[] Length - 1.500 Meters
-[] Width - 350 Meters
-[] Acceleration - 8 Gravities
-[] Armor - Thick Single Hull
-[] Shields - Three Emitters
-[] Weapons - Small Mine-Layers, Anti-Voidcraft Defense
-[] Equipment - Zero-Emissions Protocols, Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations, Ship Shrines, On-Board Supply Generation, Spacious Crew Quarters, Armored Lifepods, Tuned Shields, Advanced Alloying
A quick, small mine-layer with some stealth equipment. Idea is that it can operate ahead of the main fleets undetected, mining some strategic/tactical areas without the enemy noticing. Otherwise it can operate within Federation territory to mine our defensive lines when needed.
[] [Light Cruiser] Martyr-class Uplift Ship
-[] Length - 4.000 Meters
-[] Width - 500 Meters
-[] Acceleration - 3 Gravities
-[] Armor - Thick Single Hull
-[] Shields - Three Emitters
-[] Weapons - Medium Hangars [Mixed]
-[] Equipment - Icons to the Faith, Orders of the Guiding Hands, Medical Deployment Division, Yeeni Auxiliary Engineer Division, Small On-Board Manufactory, Luxurious Crew Amenities, Chapels to the Five
An auxiliary ship that is only supposed to move into a system after we've fully won the local void war. My thoughts are that it is there to look after the local civilian population both during and after the fighting on the ground, providing faith and medical services to those in need. The manifactory can help with supply until local industries have been built back up. My idea is that its mostly staffed by civilians and Faith Orders, so having both chapels and crew amenities would be prudent for those not used to life aboard interstellar ships. It is over the DP limit by 1, so HeroCooky would need to provide a detriment, which I'm sure they've had some planned for us for a while now! Since my vision is that ideally it wouldn't ever be in harms way, a detriment shouldn't really be too much of an issue.
