Your 125 tons bomber has 3 months deployment time, so for Aurora, spartan accommodation. If he sits 5 years on a spot, then realistically the 2 crew will have murdered themselves in the meantime.
I know that if we only talk about the game, then yes, your fighter will still active scan with a morale of 0%. But I like to role play things a bit You basically have the weight of the Mir station, 130 tons, but most of it is used by weapon and engine I guess. So the accommodations are very sparse, definitively not for a long deployment in any case.

Nice about the shuttle to simulate crew relief.
What I find a bit exploitive is to have a civilian hull, so 3 months intended deployment stay 10 years in space. I would not like be one of these poor guys in a 420 tons structure.
Now, as I said, when you have 100 jump points and more to watch over, I guess this is a necessary evil. I went first with a military design, using fighter hull, to put a bigger sensor, but you don't need that big of a sensor to detect what exit a jump points.
Indeed. No engine though, now it can last forever as a civilian ship but I find that a bit exploitive. I might not say that once I control 80 jump points though!
