Deployment time is a bit long, given it has only fuel for two months, so I´d reduce it a bit.
Maint Time is way too long.
7.24 years, whith 12 months deployment time and 2 months worth of fuel?
Either double the range of your active/missile firecontrol or half the range of your missiles.
Usually, I build the other way around, i.e. sensors/FC have longer range than missiels, so I am able to use the next generation of missiles without a refit
I´d half the fuel _and_ the warhead and put everything in engines and perhaps a bit agility to thet the to-hit chances and the speed up.
CIWS doesn´t need a res-1 sensor, as that is build into the CIWS itself, so rip it out.
New World:
Your Jump Cruiser has less armor than your Frigate. This is your ride home, you do _not_ want to skimp on protection on that one .
Again your Maint Life is waaaaaaay too long. Just make sure you can repair the largest part of your design, which requires 272 MSP. If you want to be on the safe side, double it and leave it at that.
While your AMMs are pitiful, I am not sure there is a lot you can do about it, given the tech you have. Reducing range (your res-1 active can probably see an enemy size 6 or smaller missile at less than 1 million klicks) probably won´t give you a whole lot of space to play with.
ASMs see above.
Hm, how about forgetting the AMMs and putting either more CIWS (if the ship is supposed operate on its own) or rip them _and_ the CIWS out and replace it with a turret (networked PD in fleets rock)
You could the also rip out the res-1 sensor (CIWS approach) or reduce it in size a bit (turret approach) not too much though, or you´ll loose the tracking-time-bonus.
This would also allow you to put a few more ASMs on the ship, as with only three salvos worth of missiles, there is no way to kill anything. Even a FAC will be hard to kill with only 6 missiles. (rule of thumb: Absolute minimum is 10 salvos (with regular lauchers))
Hm, a res-100 and a res-150? I´d probably go with _one_ res-120 and be done with it
