True to their nature, the Clans have armed even their nominally noncombatant JumpShips. Accordingly, the ''Hunter'' mounted five [[large pulse laser|large pulse lasers]], five [[streak SRM-4]] launchers with one ton of ammunition each, and two [[AMS|anti-missile systems]], with four tons of ammunition, in addition to adequate armor.

The original ''Hunter'' design can carry between 1021 and 1097 tons of cargo depending on the exact variant (see below) and may have or not have room for 10 passengers.

The original ''Hunter'' design can carry between 1021 and 1097 tons of cargo depending on the exact variant (see below) and may have or not have room for 10 passengers. However, most have since been upgraded to mount a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]] system at the expense of 950 tons of cargo space (1% of the ship's mass is required for the battery).

In addition to the DropShip berth, a [[K-1|K1C]] [[DropShuttle]] is often carried to facilitate the vessel's reconnaissance and exploration duties.<ref name="BSr52">''BattleSpace'' sourcebook, p. 52</ref>

The [[BattleSpace]] rulebook provides a step-by-step guide to the designing rules by designing a sample ship class; it is explicitly stated at the end of the process that the "completed JumpShip belongs to the ''Hunter'' class". However, this (prototype) ''Hunter'' and the stats given for the ''Hunter'' in the Large Ships section of the sourcebook differ from later published entries: It had room for 10 passengers, a cargo capacity of 1,031.5 tons, and mounted one anti-missile system. with three tons of ammunition (instead of two systems with four tons). The stats also contain a cargo capacity of only 1021 tons, which may be in error as they are otherwise identical.<ref name="BSr63">''BattleSpace'' rulebook, p. 63</ref>

The standard version (from [[Technical Readout 3057]]) is presented here and has no passenger capacity, but 1097 tons of cargo. However, most have since been upgraded to mount a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]] system at the expense of 950 tons of cargo space. Unmodified vessels were mostly given to freebirth units. Whether or not those vessels serving among [[Wolf's Dragoons]] were upgraded is unknown.<ref name="TRO3057r"/>

By the mid-[[thirtieth century]], most ''Hunters'' have been upgraded with a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]] system, at the cost of a greatly reduced cargo capacity (only about 120 tons). The unmodified vessels were given to freebirth units. It is unknown whether or not those vessels serving among [[Wolf's Dragoons]] were upgraded.<ref name="TRO3057r"/>
