Colander Squadron

I was browsing Traveller sites and found this request for Commerce Raiders.

I had a few hours, so I decided to build a squadron to meet the requirements as closely as I could. The difficulty for high performance craft in HGv2 is the lack of cargo space, so I felt pretty good about getting 5+ weeks on station time for the Colander class ships. Of course there are trade-offs, as there are only light defences on this commerce raider design. The companion vessel is quite capable for a cargo ship, and should make a nice match. The normal deployment pattern would be to pair them off to a station or route to cover. Following are the text outputs from HGS and TCS for the vessels and squadron. 22 vessels for the same price as Auric-Tech's 12, for roughly the same performance!
