just remember this cruiser is light, and light things dont fare well against big guns. overall its very good, and considering you are puting this together with supply ships and tankers, I have to put in check your 6 months deployment time... you will not run out of supply or fuel on these 6 months. this ship could actually cruise for quite the while, and fare well even in 1 year deployments, if it stays put and doesn't burn all the fuel. unless you are exploring far with these boys, in which case well done, this is pretty good. If you bring along a "carrier" with the hangar space to fit this in you can even repair it on the spot.
