Change that to PDC and you are set. There arn't to many differences. The biggest is that you get a few points of free armor and can't have shields or engines.
If you are designing a pdc to build in parts (prefab) and ship to another planet for assembly make sure you keep an eye on the total size. I usually find small single purpose pdc's work better for assembly as you can put several different ones together for more functionality. It is not quite as good as 1 large one but is much faster to assemble.
