Finally found the pictures again. Well, we want the UN to be powerful, but
capable of multirole actions, so how about adding Needlebeams? The small boxes
about halfway down the wing could easily be used as the mounting for them. The
hanger decks are only convention, how about a limited fighter bay for long
range reconnaisance? By ripping out the troop bay and the SMRs we can add an
ADFC with no other modifications. If this is designed using a Weak hull, we
get 233 & 202 mass respectively.

This seems much more like it. I could support this. I'm sure there's probably
some minor tweaking in order, but in general, this feels right.

Ditto.
