Reunition
Offworld, seeing immense scientific breakthroughs with Hawkorp, negotiates an alliance pact, which leads to Offworld giving back most of the credits to @thebuilder UEE and accepting Hawkorp as its lead engineers, scientists and researchers, like in the old days. Together, they build a new flagship - the Cannon to commemorate their alliance.

The Cannon ship is the latest vessel of Offworld and Hawkorp, combining Offworld design and weapons and Hawk fighter release system. The fighters can propel the whole ship into battle faster and then detach to disrupt enemy shields, allowing Cannon's armaments to finish off the enemy craft. Includes seemingly odd-placed Ion Beams to dispatch flankers. Cost: 1614700 credits, 198 living crew.
Uses Additional Weapons by Meranera, balanced around vanilla so it's semi-vanilla

The Bullet fighter is a standalone fighter identical to that used by the Cannon, developed with minimal costs and no drone usage in mind, while allowing it to fight at decent range against any enemy in groups thanks to its hardlight accelerator. Costs 43900 credits, 6 living crew. No FTL drive, requires either a Hawkorp Cuckoo or any other transport vessel to perform FTL-jumps.
Offworld sends 999999083000000 credits to UEE back, remaining 1027000000 credits, built 10 Bullets and a Cannon - remaining 1024946300 credits.
