I had to restart my campaign due to some SM stupidity on my part, and in the reboot I only have 2 extrasolar systems colonized, and they are nowhere near the battle lines. Was hoping the Trafalgar could work as a Fleet Tanker\Collier\Supply ship as well as carrying the Hounds.
Here is my new Arsenal Armed Collier design, and the updated Hounds. I haven't actually built any Arsenals yet, no yards free large enough. Im constantly updating the design as I go. As of now, there are no yards large enough to build a CV Trafalgar either, so I'll take a closer look at that design.
EDIT :: Also, the new Piranha schools carry 6 Piranhas, and I reduced the fuel in the Piranha's to make their sensors and agility better. Ive found them to be pretty awesome against current spoiler targets.
