Remember, too, that crews are not going to be fielded in these ships for long periods. I figure they'll swap off with Red/Blue/Gold crews, sort of like present-day SSBN's blue/gold rotation, in a weeklyish schedule, most of the time.
If the boom between the main pressure hull and the engine is long enough, do you think we could fit in a couple of docking hardpoints for Valkyries along it? It'd basically be a collar that fits over the cockpit, so the pilots spend most of their time in the main hull with the crew and deploy as needed. Probably only room for a pair of fighters, but it'd be a useful force multiplier, especially if they have a good set of FAST packs.
This could be something they set up after the first couple of times one gets ambushed by a Zent scouting party and fighters from the SDF come to their rescue...![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif)

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
