SOC-12
Here is a ship that would very much needed by any fleet operating in theatre and not to have enough of these ships (given the realities of no long distance sensors or communications--ok you could have long range lenses but they would tell you what happened years ago not right now in neary by systems) a fleet commander could find himself in a world of hurt.
I revised the ship, to give it some defenses (Meson Screens and Nuc Dampers with 4 batteries of sandcasters) and give hardpoint assignments to the drone control room and the Info-Intel Room. But this required to remove 2 drones and to reduce M-drive to 1 G. It still can do a Gas Giant refuel, but needs to be careful about it.

COMMENTS
There are the eyes of any Fleet. They are sent out to all the near by systems
where a fleet is positioned to sit and recon. They are tasked in teams of two,
where one ship return to the fleet with info and reports (and resupplies and
returns to its partner) and the other stays and watches. When a picket does
not return on its scheudle time, a sizeable well armed force is often sent to
investigate.
Each ship has 8x XRD-15b Recon Drone--which can stay operational for 28
days and will return to the ship for refueling and inspection. The ship has an
operations and control room for the drones. The ship also has an intellegence
info control room that collects and processes the intell from the senor drones
and the ships active and passive sensors.
