This design is classed as a Fighter for production, combat and planetary interaction
It looks workable for what you want the design to do, however there are a couple of oversights: first, you have an R6 reactor mounted, but you only need an R2. This can save you about half the tonnage; second, you can cut your BFC size in half by using a single-weapon fire control, which allows you to also gain back the tracking speed you've cut off and in fact you can go a bit higher to 10,000 km/s with the tonnage saved on the smaller reactor.
The result is a bit pricier but much more capable:Off-Topic: NS-2 class Gunship show
That said I do agree with others, the design is likely not very capable in beam combat as it is barely faster than a contemporary opponent. Probably the biggest change would be to use 3.0x EP boost and get up to 15,000 km/s speed, possibly using a bit more fuel and cutting the BFC tracking speed back to 8000 km/s or so. This will at least help with dodging enemy fire as the ship closes in. Otherwise for hunting commerce it is over-designed and you could accomplish the same results with a much cheaper ship.
Hmmm, I can't seem to figure out how to make a single-weapon fire control....
Also, I was under the impression tracking speed for BFCs didn't matter if the ship moved as fast as you wanted the BFC to track. You see in the description that while the tracking speed for the BFC is 4000 km/s the TS for the laser itself is 10,000k/s.
The reason I had the big R6 power plan was cuz I was misled; I thought having Power 6-2 meant you need at least a R6 plan to power it. I'm assuming its saying the R2 plant is the bare minimum you can get away with; whats the benefit of going over it?
