Looks like you have lots of interesting ideas and components.

One thing that I personally dislike is the gross difference in ship sizes. I think one problem that the game has is that smaller ships quickly lose their relevance in the standard game - although your small ships will be faster - the additional firepower of the big ships will more than nullify that advantage. Perhaps adjusting the sizes and mounts to make all ships have similiar power/kT will be more beneficial?
