Pre-Antimatter Fast Direct Fire Combatants

These aren’t exactly the designs from my current campaign, because I do play with slightly modded database and have no desire to confuse anybody, so I’ve duplicated my desings to the 2.7.1 vanilla. Some mistakes possible because of transferring designs, yet they are still very similar to those I do play with.

Setting summary

I’m playing with extremely slowed research and survey, all spoilers on from 3rd to 5th explored system (invaders on the 5th) and spoilers guaranteed as numerous and at least the same tech level as me, with Invaders on the ultimate tech (significantly higher then me). To fight all these off and survive I prefer to use very fast combatants, capable of keeping the enemies at preferred range, and I keep missiles for a Code Nightfall situation only, because the enemies are too numerous and ubiquitous to kill them all with missiles as the primary doctrine.
I’m roleplaying alot, yet it’s roleplaying a specific post-catastrofic genetically-modified-humanity sciencempire that guessed about the nature of Deep Space a bit better then our real humanity is able to, and while they didn’t guess exactly right, their guess was still good enough to prepare the necessary technical and industrial base.

So these are my vanillized primary combatants. Neither of them are any kind of autonomous, as most of players prefer - every one of my combatants has to rely on the fleet of auxiliary ships (tankers especially) and a dense, quickly expanding net of stations and planetary bases.

5 decoys but only one launcher? Does that work?

IIRC, that ship must land on a ship having a hangar, to reload the decoy launcher. Or have some maintenance facility at hand.
So, indeed it could have only one decoy launcher and save the space of the magazine, as it cannot reload outside a hangar (or far from MF).

Better to load 5-size decoys in this case. Experimented with different sizes, these left from the experimental design.
