Just digging out another model I had tried ages ago and couldnt get working under LMR [attachment=1716:21.png] Designed to be a NPC "drone" to replace / complement the "police" craft, or as a protection system for very large ships that cannot effectively defend themselves against pirates. It is basically a 1MW laser, 2 missiles and 4 powerful engines held together with a bit of bodywork [attachment=1717:21.png] I always thought that most space stations were too small to hold several fighter craft but dozens of these could be stored in the space of one large ship or even attached to the outside of the hull. [attachment=1718:31.png] It is very small and fast, but only has a few minutes of fuel.

U know these could end up being deployable in remote areas, perhaps missions where a lone npc miner has dropped off a mining robot thingy that were in elite 3 and u could be tasked with destroying or collecting neuteal or enemy npc mining robots ( these could be randomly put in outlying systems) where a player could hack or steal them, they could have a random amount of these drones defending them * difficulty level for mission* or rarity of minerals being mined. Just an idea but they look cool and remote npc stations could have them to
