Comments are exceedingly welcome.
Added enough integral ASFs that it doesn't really need a Vengeance as an escort, although an all Vengeance complement would be scary on this, as it has eight docking collars. Used AR10s instead of Killer Whales, and dropped the Barracudas entirely since its got the AR10s and that I dearly love the Piranhas. Then added a few more of those too. There's an extra NAC20 compared to the Sovietskii Soyuz and two more (M)NPPC as well. Onboard fuel is good enough for a 6 month deployment cruising around at 1g. ASF/Dropship defense is vastly upgraded compared to the older design, plus there's three L-AMS on every location as nobody likes taking a nuke to the chin. I would have upped the L-AMS but I keep forgetting what's the practical limits per facing, so I kept it at the numbers listed. Additionally, there's six squads of BA equipped marines aboard for internal policing and of course those wonderfully fun times where they stop eating crayons and get to board someone. Then did my now standard thing of adding one of all the naval scanners and an HPG.
Its still fairly thin skinned, but I did up the SI a bit and switched to Ferro-Carbide which helps quite a lot. So its not quite the HMS Hood in space anymore.
