Arrow hawk is a modified J-Hawk Far Trader. The J-Hawk is a fine ship in a low threat environment, but it has draw-backs that make it dangerous to take into the wilds. The Soho Far Trader found in Traveller Chronicle address some problems but I believe it is still too small. I started with the deck plan in Gilded Lily, splitting it in half bow to stern and widening it by 4 meters, then enlarged the upper deck fuel tank to hold most of the fuel. I then increased the size of the hanger and forward cargo hatch and added a third turret and a belly cargo hatch, I also left 28m3 of space on the flight deck and 56m3 of growing space in engineering for improvements.

Notes
Arrow hawk is the first in a line of improved Far Traders, it has been widened 4 meters and has been reconfigured to carry most of its fuel on the upper deck. Arrow Hawks also carry a third turret with an all around field of fire. Other improvements include a larger hanger for the 3 ton Coalition Air Raft and a double-sized cargo hatch forward and a belly hatch. Arrow Hawks also have had their external armor thickened and their internal bracing reinforced to allow up to 2Gs maneuvering. Arrow Hawks can scoop 840me/ hour and can purify 1.53mw) 255m3/6 hours.

*In my own designs I break down "Hold" into its component parts, in this case Hanger, Cargo and Fuel, it makes it easier for me to get a feel for what was hit.
