Wow. Both of those models look amazing.... My modeling ability isn't as developed, I am used to modeling buildings, not ships. Here is a little more conceptual development on mine, hopefully I'll have a model later this weekend.
The Reaper Drone (Has that name been used by anyone?)
Think of a Predator Drone crossed with the abilities of an F302
Armament:
2x fixed position 8 barrel (Gatling style ) point defense railguns.
2x adjustable 155mm railguns (2 - 3 types of ammunition available)
1x plasma beam weapon (Reduced size)
Powerplant:
2x Mark nine Naq Generators (Something I came up with its a Mark nine because its nine feet long, If you all have a naming convention for these please let me know)
Energy Buffer (for the APBW)
Primary Propulsion:
2,3x Ion engines
Secondary Propulsion (Manuverability):
Multi-directional Gamma Wave Plating (Something else I made up, It's a low profile plate that can provide thrust in numerous directions allowing a ship to out maneuver smaller and similar size ships.)
Sensors:
Standard sensors package similar to a F302.
Energy anomaly detector for Stealth and Hyperdrive detection.
Subspace control and communication with Homeworld Command.
Strategy:
For interception of fighters and transports this Drone is more then capable of flying itself in a dogfight and even with inertial dampeners the crew of enemy ships can not overcome all of the G-forces that the Reaper can with its Inertial Dampeners and no crew.
The ship can attach to asteroids and other objects to mask its presence..... typical strategy with large capitol ships is to jump passed the shield using a short hyperspace burst, and then proceed to cripple the ship. Docking clamps allow the Reaper to stay with an enemy ship in hyperspace and then continue its assault once back in normal space.

Depending..... What do people think is appropriate? I was thinking it could fire once every 90 seconds.... keep in mind it is smaller then the ones on a 304.
Also it uses the APBW when outside the shield of an enemy ship. Once inside the shield it switches to railguns. and then once the ship is defenseless the Reaper move back to long range and continues to pick apart the ship with the APBW...... So a longer fire time shouldn't matter. Especially if the Reaper is fighting in group combat.
I forgot to mention earlier that for a defensive option in dogfights the Reaper has a rear facing flak cannon, more of a mortar really. So it launched explosive fragmentation artillery to avoid getting followed directly.
