If you throw all those abilities into the hull, you don't have to worry about people abusing your fighter-sat components.
By giving the hull a zero engine requirement I assume you mean changin the "uses engines" to false? Does that actually prevent you from putting engines on it? I wasn't sure.

Giving the hull a QR ability would make them like sats, but unfortunatly these fighter/sats could be fleeted with, unlike regular sats. It could give you a cheap and easy method of supplying your fleet for long durations. Simply keep one in storage on one of the ships and launch it and fleet with it whenever supplies get low. If you like this idea though that's not a bad thing to mod in. Just thought I'd point it out in case anybody didn't think of it.
