Thank you for your suggestion Atrocities, but I'm afraid it will not be that easy. If I create a small ship, I have to use ship components and that makes it even in the most basic design much more expensive than a fighter. And there is no way to create the selfdestruction after a fixed time.
Create a component like the EMC (Emergency Move component)which allows 7 movement but is destroyed on use. make it 10Kt size (and figure out some way to limit it to frigate hulls...hmm). Alternatively cobble together a new hull size smaller than a frigate. Make it dirt cheap and require a 'drone control computer' which can only be mounted on ships with the EMC. and the EMC does not function at all with any other type of engine.
One disposable ship. Add the ability for the drone control computer to act as self destruct device and bingo...
Of course, I don't know if this would actually work in practice.
