The visual is a touch too anime, but then again it's within the realm of possibility for CIS-influenced designs -- it almost reminds me of a buzz droid for some reason.

The stats all look good, but giving a hyperdrive to something this small, mass-produced and flimsy is almost always considered a bad investment. It drastically increases production cost, and you already have a nice new carrier for deployment purposes. It's not a sticking point, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

It's a Square Enix model, and I think they are Japanese-based, but it fits with Zev's cruiser design. The hyperdrive can be cut, though.
