Notes: This is a system for letting a single volunteer manage a ship via a Type 32 Pilot Pod, though it has some drawbacks. Because there aren't engineers or support personnel for the ship, the ships can be battered and more easily destroyed in engagements -- meaning that the pod and any data gathered had to have a way of getting back over long distances. This is why the fold system and dedicated power source have been installed.
This can be used with obsolete and mothballed vessels with minimal personnel to temporarily and quickly bolster forces (still limited by the fleet numbers) which might be considered expendable, or for extra dangerous recon missions. Use as decoys is also possible. Ships might be crafted or refitted specifically for this system's regular use, but they would be smaller craft which the system could better micromanage and would more obviously benefit from the replacement of crew amenities with things like weapon/shield systems and ECM/ECCM. Smaller craft would also be a lesser loss should they be damaged or destroyed in the high risk missions.
I want to emphasize -- this isn't for breaking the fleet build up limits. It should be used to allow the use of obsolete vessels in an emergency situation or where decoys are needed, but those vessels would be temporarily considered as within a fleet. The same goes for any compact craft built for this system -- which would be high risk and limited in number.
