With such low fuel endurance, it feels like this is something that will be zipping back and forth to and from bases are a quick response vessel.  Given that, It feels like you would have better mileage from box launchers, with more missiles to overwhelm the target at a given time.  If you are RTB to refuel after ever sortie, I don't think you lose much but not having reloads.

I agree with this, really not a lot more to add.

To fight off Raiders (with a max speed of around 4200 km/s) it is the first iteration of an improved Missile Interceptor Frigate.

For now, upgraded parts are only Torpedo Tubes, Torpedos themselves, and Engines.

Next in line to be upgraded:
Sensor array with a lower resolution.
New Torpedos with more speed.

I'm also thinking of getting rid of the thermal sensor in exchange for more Engineering Spaces.

What do you think?
