I've built these with one being a long range focused ship and one being a close range brawler. These are still quite early tech, but I liked them well enough so I figured I'd share them. Might do a more proper write up later.

--- Five layers of armor gives them passable defense while they carry enough fuel and Life Support for a 7.2 Billion Kilometer round trip. One uses a Particle Beam paired to a Laser to kite, but with the caveat that it becomes more dangerous if pressed. The other acts as the tackle, using a Railgun / Meson combo to demolish / bypass enemy shields for big damage. They're both lightly armed ships, but they're rather quick for Ion era designs and fairly durable to boot. A huge 900 Ton engine with 140% boost represents almost a third of the ships mass, while the 300,000 liters of fuel the feed it represents a further 10% or so. These are defensive ships, btw. I imagine getting WAY more mileage out of them when 1.14 (2.0?) rolls out.
