--- This is an experimental ship concept I've been toying with, wherein a missile ship is equipped only with M-FCS and uses passive sensors to find targets. It would rely on it's parasites for target lock. The Striker Class is that ship, while the Seeker Class is it's Fire Direction Craft. A small active sensor allows it to engage with it's auxiliary lasers, as well as use them to supplement any PD escorts that it will likely possess. It's fuel and deployment are calculated for a 3 month trip to the OpFor, a 3 month tour at the OpFor and a 3 month return trip. Slow for an Ion era ship, and thinly armored as well, but with a fairly hefty alpha strike and decent backup weapons to go with it. It's Class 10 ASMs are fairly accurate against their intended targets.
