RE: First there was the mini, now a design (Sol Class)

It's a little bit TOO much of a monster.   It would actually be usable
if
you could drop the mass to about 250-260.

How about:
UNSC Sol Class SDN-X
Mass:	264
Points: 	927
Hull:	Weak
FTL:	Std
Main Drive: 2
Armour: 	14
Damage Track: 53; 14/13/13/13
Crew Factor: 14+8 marines
Screen-2
Firecontrols: 5
ADFC
Nova Cannon
3 x Class-4 battery		(F)
4 x MT missiles
2 x SMLs
SML Magazine	(10 mass; 2 ER, 2 std)
6 x Pulsetorp	(F)
4 x Class-1 batteries
6 x PDS
Cargo (Troops): 8
Mass 2 shuttle (3 mass bay)
