May Mr. Cruz someday awaken with the realization of the harm he has done, and spend his remaining hours on Earth making amends.

And as clean a migration as can be expected!

Have now got a usable migration of the new R7R designs. Now to get the old designs, and then we do tests on Traveller sheets.

As it takes about 2 minutes to open the output files, and 5-8 minutes to run the migration tool...there's a fair bit of YouTube video watching as things run.

(Since it's a boardgame with a player-accessible ship design system, the numbers can be tweaked for better universal fidelity versus fun.)

A plasma cannon and a pair of particle/laser turrets imply terrifying close-in firepower. We'd need to know more about their actual capabilities (and those of the Donnager's kinetic weapons) to make weapon cards.

This is something you could play in Squadron Strike if you'd like to learn the game.

The primary advantage the Hyperion has is it's independently FTL capable; it can (hypothetically) do something that the Expanse universe has no doctrine for: Appear at point blank range near an objective, dumping fighters and avoiding the approach battle.

Starfuries might or might not be able to get close to the Donnager through its PD clusters; the Donnager's parasite craft are independently armed spaceships with missiles and railguns of their own (like the Tachi) and capable of higher thrust than Starfuries.

We don't know the maximum velocity projectiles those interceptors can deal with.

The Hyperion has a heavy plasma cannon mounted forward, two laser/particle beam turrets, 8 laser turrets to provide flank coverage, 6 Starfuries, and two missile launchers. Its maximum rated thrust is 2G.
