Refer to: Ships: Alien Invaders.
I was going to recommend swapping out the gunned escort if the Sathar for the Sathar cutter that was developed in response to discovery of the Sathar cutter miniature. However I think some of the fluff for the Sathar cutter was it was the Sathar answer to the assault scout. So that doesn't necessarily work. 
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Yeah the assault scout isn't a product of the first sathar war, it's a precursor to the second war. The gunned escort is merely a dialed back version albeit slightly larger and no rockets.

What if we invented Skirmish Rockets for this era. Still MHS 1, reduce the range by 1 hex and cut the damage in half. figure some prices in line with everything else and in all other respects is the same as an assault rocket

I actually think the Name Skirmish Rocket is a nice dial back from Assualt Rocket. 

This will mean 3 grades of rockets in the frontier- Skirmish, Assault and HARM.

Actually I like this idea so much that I'm going to go with it

I have "FFR" (Forward Firing Rockets) in my PF-100 Rise of the MegaCorps setting, essentially yhey're just the launchers from a rocket battery set in a fixed forward firing position. Same range and damage jsut a FF only weapon, and you can have up to four reloads that take a full combat turn to load (meaning fire one round, reload the next, fire again on the third round).
