Q-Ship, anti-piracy design
Lord Solar:
With 1.14 introducing a fun new spoiler I wanted to make a specialized anti-pirate ship design.
The idea behind this pair of ships is to lure pirates into attacking what looks like an undefended freighter ripe for plunder only to be caught in a trap by this ship, hunted down and defeated.
These designs are at Magneto-Plasma tech level.
I also assume that the pirates don't use missiles as they are looking to make a profit not waste expensive ordinance shooting down freighters.

This first vessel is sent on long voyages between colonies, sending a bit of fuel, MSP, colonist or troops to defend the planet if you want. Its role is to act as bait for pirate attacks and a mothership for the second craft that does the real work.

The second vessel can be really any good combat ship of your choice carried by the mothership. Just make sure it has a lot of self-maintenance capacity as commercial hangers don't freeze maintenance.
Jorgen_CAB:
My question is why use commercial hangars and not just regular hangars as it is the commercial engines on the carrier that basically identify it as a commercial vessel or not?!?
You then just add FAC or fighters to it like normal and give the ship a decent deployment and maintenance plan.

Regular hangars are a military component, and therefore would make the carrier a military ship, subject to maintenance failures, etc.

You only need enough self-maintenance capacity on the parasite to handle sortie deployment time.
The carrier will feed MSP to the parasite while it is in the hangar.
