Thank you...

It just seems that this style of combat, and other such science and background would fit well to a mod for SEIV or SEV

Well, I can't comment on SE5, but it actually isn't well suited to se4 at all:
1- You can't mod missile pods or LACs properly, because units can't fire seekers in se4.
2- Although Honorverse does have some warp-point like objects in it, they rely heavily on "directional" FTL. Impossible in se4.
3- Due to the impeller wedge, Honorverse combat is all about firing angles and facings. Guess what: se4 don't do that.

Of course you can gloss over these restrictions and mod it anyway, but I don't think the end product will "feel" very Honorversey. It will just be basic se4 with the techs tweaked to give a different seeker/ beam/ fighter balance.
That said, it will probably come out closer to the Honorverse than Trek/SW mods are to their respective canons, so ignore me and do it anyway.

BTW, a forum search should yield at least one big long thread on this very subject.
