Imagine a WC ship that was about the size of a frigate, had the crew of a corvette (a handfull or two of crew), was shaped like a football with a ring around it and a pylon or two or three to connect it to the hull. It would be loaded with engines and reactors and carry a bung-load of torpedoes or some kind of antiship missile.
It would have an engine not unlike Alcubierre's concept of a warp-drive in which it would stretch space behind it and contract space in front of it (the rings would have the "warp-drive"). It would be safer than a morvan/hopper drive (mentioned in the movie), and would have a great degree of latitude where it could go. It would be unbound by jump points, and assuming it was fast enough it would have great practicality. It would also have a jump drive as a back-up as well, so it could do both.
Using matter-anti-matter, quantum zero point energy, and exotic power sources to drive it, it would make a spectacular ship.
Just a thought,
