after years of research - the order has produced prototypes of self sufficient drones based on gathered nomad technology. - these vessels are unmanned and as small as the BHG gunship but significantly more dangerous to vessels of their own size and larger.
swarms of these drones are operated from a safe distance from the new Order Recon destroyer - putting no more of the precious crew into any direct peril.
weapons: 3 gunboat class forward guns ( straight arc )
armour: 55.000
shields: lvl8 140.000
agility: superior
size: small ( BHG gunship size )
powerplant: recontructed nomad stardrive ( large GB plant )
crew: none
pilot: neural interface aboard the mothership

[color=#ff0000]this is NOT a ship submission, nor is it a serious suggestion !!!
its just an idea i had ( ever since it became more and more clear that legenation wouldn t show up again with his order gunboat ) - thats just a variation how the order tech - the genuine order tech, not any stolen designs ... could have evolved from their intense study of the nomads and alien artefact technology.
such a ship "could" be balanced as a gunboat / cruiser killer - but totally helpless against fighters and bombers, due to the lack of any weaponry ( 3 F-guns with like no arc and no turrets )
in RP though - it might make sense.... the order has ships to counter any threat - but they do not have a gunboat. - however they also are short on active members - so with their technological edge, they might take a page out of the Wilds book and make a remote gunboat vessel .... and by making it a short range remote - it could also be made much smaller than a gunboat with crew.
* i made that for Stewcool as an idea about Order ship design / concepts and technology. - so really ... its only a play on thoughts...
You are amazing, Jinx...
however, you foolish mortals have called it a nomad ship one too many times, thus this horrific sight was spawned from my Harddrive:
*NOTE*: the blue is not texture, its just a material color to make the image look more "Nomad" for my purposes in showing it rounded like a nomad ship.
