Pirate Falcon. Pirate Falcon. Pirate Falcon.Yep, this one right here.
I guess you could use a Gryphon, technically, if you wanted to...
It may be a Cruiser, but it is fairly cheap to deploy, has Destroyer class speed but with Cruiser class defence, and meets those requirements perfectly (+2 small missile mounts on top of what you were asking). This is configuration I like to give to my Officers to command:
I still await a destroyer that just has like 4 medium missiles and 2 pd slots, so i can behold the pilums

I'd love to see a Buffalo II variant that's just a bare keel with however many many medium missile mounts is considered just barely less than indecent, and literally nothing else.
Ohhh Pilums are LRMs I’m not 100% on all the names of things. So yah I’ve had zero luck with them. Soooo slow. But maybe I’ll give them another try. I also gave the pirate falcon a try and it’s horrendous by itself. Zero consistent dps.

Huh, is that an almost entirely HE fleet? I see a lot of HAG's going on :P
Watching that, I see the Hurricane MIRVs doing a huge amount of work - more than I expected. But the Pilums don't really seem to do much? Are they just there to keep the enemy's shields up?
I have a video where I went full pilum fleet:Now I want to see this fleet versus something like the Drover spam fleet!

I do like the Falcon(P) but it is a little scary to try and just rely on them alone.
IN any event you can skip the usual mods like ITU and go straight for just ECCM's and expanded missile racks to make it all better.
I am curious to how well a pure pilum fleet would survive in a tournament
Well fair enough! It certainly stops the AI from making any aggressive moves - they were harried and defensive the whole time.The enemy fleet was also half his size. I don't want to call pillums useless, but they do very little for how much you need to sacrifice to use them.
