The Tribal class Sapper, doesn't have a jump drive, and since target colonies may not have a jump gate network where the Sapper births, they need a stealth tanker that will also be acting as a tanker and a supply ship. The tender is slower then the sapper, as the idea is that the tender will be off near the jump point and only moving when going to the JP to transit out with the Sapper possibly under fire or to meet up and trade off supply as needed. The sapper has the faster engines as it'll possibly need it to get the frakk out dodge.

The hardest part of this design was marrying the mass to the cloak. I hopped to have a jump sapper with a cloak, but that seem to hard for my tired brian to figure out. For this reason, this is why their armor is set at 1.

I dont see any glaring issue with this design, that my sleepy eyes can tell. I would to see the AI react to sulfuric acid being added to the atmosphere.
