Well if you want here's the stats for it ;-) I'm not saying it's a good
design, it's just an idea (my usual designs are 94 mass but I have a
model
of this size).

Mass: 144
Cost: 451
Power: 32
Hull: 74
Hullrows: 4
Armour: 6
Stinger Node: F FS FP
Drone Womb
Drone Womb
Drone Womb
Drone Womb
Drone Womb
Cortex Node
FTL: Normal

In comparison my current "standard cruiser" looks like this:

Mass: 94
Cost: 301
Power: 32
Hull: 30
Hullrows: 4
Armour: 7
Stinger Node: F FS AS
Stinger Node: F AP FP
Pod Launcher Node: F
Pod Launcher Node: F
Drone Womb
Cortex Node
Cortex Node
Cortex Node
FTL: Normal
