There's some room for optimization there.
- The fighter could do with half as much fuel stores.
- The reactor could be half as large.
Also, technically, the problem is that shipboard ECM could easily negate fighter fire (unless they closed in to basically point-blank range) if there's no compact ECCM modules on the small craft. Are you implying the
invaders didn't have any ECM at all? Maybe Steve was merciful and didn't give them electronic warfare capabilities in light of their already nasty tech, like those
absorption shields you mentioned. But I know Precursors have such, and probably so would the average NPR.
Here's a prototype of mine. It would use gauss guns instead of mesons since those seem boring, easy and less unique.

The
Vanguard is heavier and slower than average for its tech level, but its compact ECM should theoretically do wonders to its survivability. Likely a lot more than the extra 4000 km/s would in its stead.
