Alright, so I designed some new versions of my ships using my latest tech based on the feedback provided. I think these are considerable improvements, but still far from ideal.
Jump Tender: This ship got improved engines at the cost of reduced range. This is probably ok but testing is required. I have also removed all CIWS as this ship should not be in targeting range of enemy ships. If it is targeted, I did something wrong (or need a larger ship).

Escort Carrier: The Lexington received the same treatment as the Columbus, receiving improved engines, worse range, and loss of all CIWS capability. Her gauss fighters are her sole protection.

Carronade FAC: The Perseus received several improvements. New engines have almost doubled her speed and a new BFC improves her targeting. She has a smaller weapon, but with her larger engines will hit enemies with greater reliability. She also boasts improved repair capabilities and significantly improved range.

Particle Beam FAC: The Pericles received many of the same upgrades as the Perseus. In particular, an upgraded BFC and smaller particle beam allow for more consistent long-range attacks and improved speed and range allow for generally greater combat utility.

Gauss FAC: The Patroclus has been improved in the same manner as the Perseus and the Pericles. In particular, the turret has been replaced by a more efficient conventionally mounted gauss cannon. This upgrade was facilitated by the substantial speed improvement provided by the new engine design.

These designs might actually be able to damage the NPR. Still paper armor, but they might be able to do some damage before they get destroyed.
