I did a rough calculation for 4 TLs, since the classic Scout is TL-C. All 200 ton Far Recons, with fuel for two jumps. So they can jump away from the fleet and return even if the enemy controls fuel sources. Two crew each.

TL-C Talos Class J3 M5
TL-D Malibu Class J3 M6
TL-E Echo Class J4 M6
TL-F Toshiko Class J4 M6

Of course I named them after pets past and present.

@deinol @zuthal @chakatfirepaw Those are very cool, thanks. It seems a fleet will have a two hex ZOC, and more if it can refuel.

The Echo doesn't quite work on an ~200 ton hull: Taking advantage of the 110% output you can get on the drives and PP and working on 220 tons results in hitting 219.78 tons on the drives and fuel alone.
Dropping to M5 lets you just pull it off on 200 tons even with 3 tons for sensor mounts.
Or are you assuming drop tanks for the outward leg?

(The need to have 72% of your ship be jump fuel even at TL E/F is a real killer for pulling off a 2XJ4 ship without drop tanks.)
