I think that the Jindo's need some metal hulled support ships to round out their fleet (besides basing it on the HDW). They lack a PFT noticably on their metal hulled ships.

So without ado... (these should be pretty easy, and no brainers).

A Metal PFT based upon the DD Hull (not the DW hull), presumably the outdated DD hulls would be used to fill support roles and the DW hulls combat roles...

1) Replace 6x Shuttles w/ Repair-capable Tractors
2) Replace 2x Tractors w/ Shuttles
3) Replace left side 4xNWO+LRG w/ 5 repair
4) Replace right side 4xNWO+LRG w/ 5 repair
5) Replace both remaining LRGs w/ Special Sensors

Yeah this'll have a TON more repair than any other CW-sized PFT, but the Jindarians just have a ton of internal volume including the NWO boxes

For the Light PFT (LPFT), it'd be based upon the FF hull (for the same reasons as the DD hull).

1) Replace 4x Shuttles w/ 3x MechLink Tractors+1x Tractor w/ Repair bay (It'd normally carry 3xPFs on it)
2) Replace 2x Tractors w/ Shuttles
3) Replace left side 2xNWO+LRG w/ 3 repair
4) Replace right side 2xNWO+LRG w/ 3 repair
5) Replace both remaining LRGs w/ Special Sensors (yeah it'd have 2x Sensors whereas most LPFTs have 1xSensor).

So yeah, not very imaginative, BUT, it'll allow the Jindarians to field PFs in a battle w/o a rock-CA PFT, or rock-CL PFT, which are head and shoulders above any other alpha PFT.

A Metal Hull LCS would probably fall in the catagory of "Armed PFTs", like the K-D7P or F-CVH, and it should keep it's MRGs to pound opponents in a fight with.
