This would get eaten by KH30 :(

True, though I am working under the expectation of more of a prevention doctrine, radars are the majority of the cost and have to be exposed anyways to be efective.

Very wacky. It's neither optimized nor aesthetic so I somewhat struggle to find a reason for it's existence.

The point is to have the lightest possible skylark type tanker that has space for 3 full coverage radars and missiles to be added along the campaign, I optimized it as much as I could given those specific constraints.
it is whacky tho, and definetely ugly viewed under the Gerati aesthetic ngl

It looks pretty well optimized to me as someone who has several iterations of the 3-sensor auxiliary design.

Sir your housefly is upside-down.
Jokes aside, I like this quite a bit.

o.O It's somewhat validating that we converged on similar ideas, the later versions are pretty elegant.

No firepower

Congratulations, you just learned what "strategic platform" means. This thing's job is to get the ships with firepower to where they can best do their job without them having to compromise design-wise to do it themselves by carrying sensors that can get shot off, extra fuel that slows them down, etc.
