Actually, this sounds a lot like the M Collective rules for Star
Bombers from SfW.

Star bombers fill the role in Starfleet Wars that PT or Torpedo Boats
fill in a modern navy. These boats are larger than fighters and are
capable of FTL travel like any warship, but they are much more
susceptible to damage than regular warships.

Star Bombers are treated as thrust 8 ships, and as such write orders
like other ships.&nbsp; Star Bombers, being somewhere in between the
size of fighters and regular warships can be fired on by regular
starship weapons and *DAFs. This makes the Star Bombers very fragile
when in close with larger ships.&nbsp; Also, because of their smaller
size, they do not carry the unlimited ammunition of full size
warships.&nbsp; Ammunition restrictions will be listed with each races
ship.
