>Work on the Mark II Hot Dog. (Torpedo Design, Manned)
The shield upgrade does not fundamentally solve our problems of being both outmanouvered and outgunned.
The drone control is a critical weakness and should be replaced with a manned system. We need to refit a cruiser with drone control if we wanted to continue using hot dogs anyway, so instead we should refit a Gloria or something else with a simple hangar bay replacing its originally useless torpedo launchers. The gunboat hulls will continue to be clamped to the hull as before, and the giant torpedoes to be stored externally, but the crew get to sleep inside the mothership. We need to make a new flagship design later anyways, this will give the Gloria at least some more use for a bit. Finally, the gunboats will launch before battle is met to so they don't have to do a contested deployment.
Using the weight savings from not needing crew quarters or a drone computer, the Hot Dog's turret should be upgunned to an autocannon so it can do drive-by shootings as a actual gunboat instead of just being a armored fighter after the torpedo is launched. Our main battlefleet has low tactical mobility so we need the hot dogs to flank.
