Let's see... a good diplomatic starship should be able to show off what your empire is capable of providing to an alliance, perhaps even with a limited demonstration of weaponry available. How about this design with a little of everything?
That's 30 SSD (max for tech 1) with drones, P-type and T-type weapons to show off various capabilities, plenty of defensive shields, extra torpedo storage bays for an extended battle, and hangar room for a 4-fighter CAP cover to deal with any minor annoyances buzzing around. It can travel at a reasonable speed and combat maneuverability is as good as a big ship gets. It takes 3 turns to build and costs 145 PI.
How's that for a diplomatic vessel to impress them during your negotiations?
