A few caveats I've been around since SA played a fair bit of VB6 and even made some really boneheaded errors in designs before but never had a chance to really dig into C# (also been a very long time since I had time to really play) so I've forgottten most about ship design I did know.
So now I have time and with 2.5.1 out though I have a go, so set up a new game and made a few design choices that may or may not bite me in the behind later on.
First I'm going to try a keep all ships in use in a Ship of Thesues manor by refiting hulls unless destroyed by combat.
Second I'm going to grow ship tonnage over time as I need to fit more systems, this means many more refits over time.
Third always use maximum thermal signature reduction on drives, not sure why but I put it on the first drive and have decided to keep doing it. :)
I'm using [Class name] [Alpha] [Roman numeral] to distinguish refits. With Alpha for changes to engines and armour, and numeral for all other system changes

Here are my freighters and colony transports both built of the same base hull to start with.
Tip for new designers include shuttles on colony ships or its really hard to colonise the moon let alone Mars, had to do a quick SM edit to fix that mistake :)
Basic freighter design a cargo hold and shuttles with fuel added to round out the tonnage.

My first real military ships are a basic destroyer, using a laser and quad gauss cannon mounts as I couldn't work out a decent missile design and just wanted a ship built. :)

Having built by Tribal class destroyers I realised one big flaw I forgot the jump drive so rathe than SM edit it in I went the route of a destroyer leader class to carry the jump drive, i also decided to try my hand a missile design.
A hence the Town class Destroyer Leader was born.

One thing I noticed you have a 40,000 ton jump drive on your 24000 ton Jump ship. The maximum size of ship that can jump with that drive is the smallest of the size of the Jump drive or the ship so , you can't jump any later 40,000 ton designs so it would be more efficient to make a smaller jump drive or Bigger ship.

The plan is to slowly increase the ships size via refits so I built the drive bigger so I don't have to research and built an new one for a while, the destroyers while probably stop growing a some point and I'll design a cruiser to take over as the main fleet combatant otherwise too much mission creep, the destoyers will end up in the tradional escort/screening roles once the fleet is big enough.

This used to be the case, but isn't so anymore.
Jump Drive Size Requirements
When using a jump drive to open a jump point for other ships, the only requirement is that the jump drive capacity is large enough for the transiting ship. There is no requirement in C# Aurora for ship mounting the jump drive to be as large as the transiting ship.
Relatively small jump tenders or bases will now be able to open a jump point for much larger ships.
-
Huh, that's a new one to me - neat.
However, even if that's not the case, there's still a reason why you wouldn't want to keep using your 40k jump design - jump drive efficiency. If you're putting research into it, your drives get significantly smaller. You can easily shave off hundreds of tons with a newer version.

Good point I justified for this game as research now use till I can free up the labs for research either the tech and/or the new drives as I have only so many labs and scientists to use - the normal pressures of the game.
I will make new drives later on but currently focusing on kinetics and sensors.
-
Putting a jump drive in every squadron is valid, and may be more so than in the past if you're in the latest versions, but it isn't obligatory.
I've always focused on the jump tender pattern, scattering commercial ships with military jump drives to every jump point.

The B series of ships are marked by Magneto-plasma Drives, for the commerical vessels this was also marked by the hull sizes growing for two cargo holds or 140,000 colonists.
Some one at the design board asked the question of why all the tankers had a cargo hold as part of their design, and after many sighs the cargo hold was slated for removal as part of the planned C series.

Info provided below is in the spirit of providing constructive feedback.
How are you planning to use the Tribal and Town class destroyers? You have given them almost as much deployment time (24 months) as you have fuel/travel time (553 days). Do you anticipate sending these ships out 100 billion km, fighting one pitched battle, and then heading home? Are you not planning to stop along the way to refuel at a tanker and/or colony? Seems like you could get some space back by cutting down the fuel tanks significantly.
On a related note, these seem pretty lightly armed AND armored. Is their focus on point defense (PD)? I see you have gauss cannons and CIWS, as well as a small number of AMM launchers. Given the size of the ship I'd expect either significantly more PD weapons, significantly more offensive weapons, or both. To only have 5 layers of armor and no shields on a warship of 33ktons seems like a risky gamble. What are you using the extra mass on? I guess the jump drive on the leader, but what on the Tribal? By this tech level you should seriously consider adding some shielding unless you've chosen not to as a design philosophy. It will mitigate most long-range energy weapon sniping due to the lower damage at range and the shield's ability to rechare, and reduce accumulated damage from missiles that leak through your PD.
I also noticed that you have nearly 30k MSP. Are you achieving the Maint Life of 3.6 years primiarly through adding Maintenance Storage? I'd strongly suggest using less MSP and more Engineering Modules. A roughly 50/50 balance in tonnage between those two will give you a more mass-efficient solution and be less resource intensive to operate and maintain.
The fact that your 30cm laser has a tracking speed of 5,000 km/s when your ship only has a speed of 4244 km/s tells me your 30cm laser is turreted, which is a bit of a waste for that small of a gain in tracking speed.
Unless I missed something you only have one BFC, which means you won't be able to assign your gauss cannons to PD while simultaneously firing your 30cm laser unless it's also used in PD mode, which would be horribly inefficient in terms of MSP. Highly recommend adding more BFC which are tailored to the role of their intended weapons. A single-weapon BFC with tracking speed and range aligned to your 30cm laser wouldn't take up much space and would also give you redundancy in case of damage to a BFC (microwave weapons bypass armor and preferrentially hit electrical equipment).
You have multiple different sizes of EM and thermal sensors, which adds no value other than redundancy in the event of battle damage, by which point finding the enemy (passive sensors won't allow you to target, just to locate) is the least of your concerns. Definitely delete the smaller passive sensors of each type; you should only have one EM and one thermal sensor on a single ship unless you can come up with a really, really good reason otherwise.
Your biggest active sensor is both unnecessary and too big. You only need active sensors to be able to shoot (either energy weapons or missiles). Your longest range missile has a range of 59M km, and your active sensors that reach that far have a range of 131M km and 76M km. Delete the bigger of the two. The 76km one is probably about right, since it's effective range may be decreased by the enemy's ECM.
Likewise your BFC has a range of 246.6m km, which is 4x the actual range of your longest range missile. Cut that down to maybe 100M km max to save some space and cost.

Info provided below is in the spirit of providing constructive feedback.
How are you planning to use the Tribal and Town class destroyers? You have given them almost as much deployment time (24 months) as you have fuel/travel time (553 days). Do you anticipate sending these ships out 100 billion km, fighting one pitched battle, and then heading home? Are you not planning to stop along the way to refuel at a tanker and/or colony? Seems like you could get some space back by cutting down the fuel tanks significantly.
Initial design was patrol based go out and show the flag seeing what whent bump in the night fight it off and flee. basically go through a few systems out side my core colonies and see what's around. Hasn't workd that way but never really changed it. Also have Planet X in sol and that is a very long trip for most of my designs. and I keep ending up with jump points well away from colonies on my main routes.
On a related note, these seem pretty lightly armed AND armored. Is their focus on point defense (PD)? I see you have gauss cannons and CIWS, as well as a small number of AMM launchers. Given the size of the ship I'd expect either significantly more PD weapons, significantly more offensive weapons, or both. To only have 5 layers of armor and no shields on a warship of 33ktons seems like a risky gamble. What are you using the extra mass on? I guess the jump drive on the leader, but what on the Tribal? By this tech level you should seriously consider adding some shielding unless you've chosen not to as a design philosophy. It will mitigate most long-range energy weapon sniping due to the lower damage at range and the shield's ability to rechare, and reduce accumulated damage from missiles that leak through your PD.
Didn't start research sheild tech until magneto fusion drives, I think the C series has a shield not good but a shield also destroyers are known as tin cans for a reason ;D plus I forgot to increase it when increasing my tonnage. Also never had much combat experience with C# so threw a few weapons on that made sense at the time and am waiting to see how it pans out.
I also noticed that you have nearly 30k MSP. Are you achieving the Maint Life of 3.6 years primiarly through adding Maintenance Storage? I'd strongly suggest using less MSP and more Engineering Modules. A roughly 50/50 balance in tonnage between those two will give you a more mass-efficient solution and be less resource intensive to operate and maintain.
Yep MSP to bring it up though later designs have started to add more engineering spaces as I realised how they worked.
The fact that your 30cm laser has a tracking speed of 5,000 km/s when your ship only has a speed of 4244 km/s tells me your 30cm laser is turreted, which is a bit of a waste for that small of a gain in tracking speed.
Nope ancient design and not a turret weapon I keep forgetting to design and fit stuff of which my lasers are just one thing :)
Unless I missed something you only have one BFC, which means you won't be able to assign your gauss cannons to PD while simultaneously firing your 30cm laser unless it's also used in PD mode, which would be horribly inefficient in terms of MSP.

A single-weapon BFC with tracking speed and range aligned to your 30cm laser wouldn't take up much space and would also give you redundancy in case of damage to a BFC (microwave weapons bypass armor and preferrentially hit electrical equipment).
Ah didn't know I need more than one but that's and easy fix next upgrade.

Definitely delete the smaller passive sensors of each type; you should only have one EM and one thermal sensor on a single ship unless you can come up with a really, really good reason otherwise.
I'm paranoid about missing hostile ships so muliple systems though I do call the 1 HS sensor naviagtion sensors but will rationalise the number.
Your biggest active sensor is both unnecessary and too big. You only need active sensors to be able to shoot (either energy weapons or missiles). Your longest range missile has a range of 59M km, and your active sensors that reach that far have a range of 131M km and 76M km. Delete the bigger of the two. The 76km one is probably about right, since it's effective range may be decreased by the enemy's ECM.
Newest missile is 74m km so will probably just stick with the larger one and the small one is my anti missile sensor or that's how I'm reading it.
Likewise your BFC has a range of 246.6m km, which is 4x the actual range of your longest range missile. Cut that down to maybe 100M km max to save some space and cost.
Not sure about this one of the tutorial I watched or read suggested the longer range so you get better to hit chances as it's actually at short range by the sensor when attacking?
Anyway thank for the info I'm just feeling my way through both the game and ship design.

MFC only need a slightly more range than your missiles as that gives you little bit of safety in case the enemy starts running away. But BFC do need more range than what your beam weapons are capable as the announced range is when your UNMODIFIED hit chance is 50% so you definitely want more than that!
-
But BFC do need more range than what your beam weapons are capable as the announced range is when your UNMODIFIED hit chance is 50% so you definitely want more than that!
Even worse: the announced range is now your zero percent hit chance range, modified or not! To be fair, the announced range was doubled when this change was made, but it now means that a 384kkm BFC range (which used to give 50% hit at its labeled 192kkm range) is the hard limit of that BFC; if you're further away, the guns won't even fire and will simply alert as out of range. Modifications to hit chance simply push the 100% hit range out further with a steeper drop to 0% hit at the BFC's limit.

I've only skimmed through the designs, but these two things really stuck out to me:
You're still going crazy with the passive sensors - you really only need a single EM / thermal sensor. If you're worried about detection, feel free to make it a big sensor.
All of these:
Sykes Electronic Systems Thermal Sensor TH1.0-18.0 (20%) (1) Sensitivity 18 Detect Sig Strength 1000: 33.5m km
Sykes Electronic Systems Thermal Sensor TH2.50-45.00 (20%) (1) Sensitivity 45 Detect Sig Strength 1000: 53m km
Sykes Electronic Systems Thermal Sensor TH5-90 (20%) (1) Sensitivity 90 Detect Sig Strength 1000: 75m km
Are redundant - you just need the 75 million km sensor.
Your fuel tanks are also crazy huge. I mean, if you're regularly sending your Heavy Cruisers 436.6 billion km out, then go for it; but I highly suspect this is massive overkill. I'd also be worried that a fleet of these things would suck any refueling port dry.
-
Your Annual Failure Rate (AFR) is 1947% it means that this ship will brake 19,47 times a year. That is almost once per ~19 days.
Strategically it is a MPS sink!
Use some Engineering Spaces ;)

This is a common misconception. The AFR will always increase with size , so the key metric is the Maint Life. A very large, very expensive ship will always have a high AFR.
A 10,000-ton ship with the same proportion of maintenance facilities as a 5000-ton ship (that is half the cost) will have double the AFR but the same maint life. A 20,000-ton ship will have 4x the AFR of the 5000-ton ship, but the same maint life, because it is effectively the same as the cumulative failure rate of four 5000-ton ships.

Have taken your feedback into effect with these designs as they were already designed and in the process of being refitted when I read your post. I'm busy researching new sensors.

I've cut the fuel tanks of the D series dsigns apart from the Survey Frigates to something more sensible. but I hae done lots of long patrols as I've been refueling all my ships in the sol system only so far busy geting the hang of the civilain shipping networks to move stuff out to new colonies and set up fleet bases.
I'll post up some of the D series tomorrow.

Thanks for this bit of info and I have switched to more engineering spaces and ensure the Maint Life is longer than the intended deployment times.

I have gotten my D- series ships into refit, stripped a lot of fuel and maintenance storage out a rationalised my sensors.
