I tweaked the design and came up with the following based on all of the recommendations so far. Note that the turrets are slightly overbuilt in terms of tracking speed, as I'm expecting a racial tracking speed update in the next two years which will allow me to upgrade the BFCs in a later retrofit. I did add a 100 ton crew compartment for RP... any ship worth it's salt should have a marine contingent. I picked a drop pod, so it may actually come in handy fending off boarders or boarding enemy ships during the post-battle mop up.
