Description
A very small ship for scouting, drone warfare and mayday-ship capture.
The ship turned out to be very similar to a guinea pig, which is why it is called that (Cavy). :)
I play on a server with very difficult drones and have lost a lot of scout ships. This design is the result of an evolution from even smaller designs.
At first, static gatling guns were installed on it, but as practice has shown, if drones spawn nearby, then there is no time to aim the ship at them. Homing machine guns deal with two targets at the same time. They are also very helpful when you are poking around in the bowels of a captured ship, and grinder drones are silently approaching your ship.

Ion engines only.

The following blocks are installed on it:

х2 Decoys
х2 Missile Launchers
х2 Gatling machine guns
Survival kit
Oxygen tank
Hydrogen tank
Medium cargo container
Beacon

The gyroscopes are located at different points of the ship, one of them is attached to the cockpit. As many battles have shown, such a design is viable. Even on the surviving half of the ship, you can leave the battle and repair at the base. Usually there is a pair of O2 cylinders in the cockpit, because the oxygen tank could be shot down.
The decoys are located at a short distance from the main blocks and this gives a small margin of time when meeting a strong enemy to get out of the battle.

If you will make any modifications to this design, I will be interested to know about it.
I am sorry that the ship is boring gray.
