Hm, I'd hate to loose the FF, and for -f races having the mini bomber seems vital. There's only one ship hull I think I could renounce, the ultra miner. Its advantages over the maxi miner seem unimportant, esp with VMLs improved mining robots. So in return for the ARM choice, you would get a mine layer hull, which is better than both the DD and FF, earlier and/or cheaper than the Galleon (all Mk II versions, ofc).

The design should be weaker than the SD ones. The MML has 4 slots and doubled capacity, thus 8 slots. But when traded, they're only 4 slots - and I would not want to worsen SD trade abilities.

Perhaps a single 4pcs slot would do, only 1 type of mines possible. The ships mass should be high, to give the SD hull a gating advantage. 100kt at least. 2 engines needed. Cost about double the SD ships cost: 14i-4b-10g-36res. Same armor/fuel as the SD ship.

Your 2 hulls idea I am having problems with, due to loosing another hull and cutting SDs advantages.

Further thoughts?

Yes, cutting one ARM hull, we should consider a change to the remaining ones: adding a 3rd mining robot to the midget, and a 7th and 8th to the miner, perhaps.
