It depends, for most of the things I don't know if I will spend the time recreating stuff. If something comes up where I need it, that might be a reason.
Wow. I had been considering refitting the Ketsueki, but this submission pretty much uses all the ideas I had in mind. All but one really, and it has the hardware to be used in that way.
Nashoba, question. Can this craft perhaps "cling" to a larger craft via the graviton beam projector on its ventral stern? If so, it could potentially act as a deployable support/escort to larger craft, or even be "dropped off" by a host ship in enemy territory for stealthy ops while the host ship escapes either undetected or provides a distraction. It could also cling to the inside of or the sides of wrecks for ambushes, and these abilities would only be improved if you added active camouflage systems to its hull.
If so, it uses a lot of the ideas I had for a refitted Ketsueki, and implemented better. Fully retractable and armored weapons, stealth, etc. You may want to consider https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=xiulurium as an optional coating for the most stealthy ops though.
This can get expensive if the hull has these things added, so it might be optional, but it's your call if such things are cost effective for its role.
All major heat-generating pieces of equipment are paired with appropriately-sized scalar-based heat absorbers, which rapidly and effectively absorb thermal radiation and convert it to usable energy.
You should remove this line from the coolant system entry because scalar heat absorbers wouldn't work. You can't just absorb heat and turn it into energy without a heat gradient, and the 'scalar heat absorbers' wouldn't be able to radiate heat away to cool anything.
