The NS could probably do with having a supply ship though, a mobile base and support vessel.

I think you need helo capacity to do that job right. Our ships as currently armed, could certainly protect themselves against the likes of those guys, but protecting somebody else? Most interceptions mentioned in the piracy thread seem to involve use of the helo. And unfortunately, the NS don't do helos!
