It is more satisfying to improve your ship yourselves, so let me first give you some tips:
You are good on your way, but:
-Try to use compartments to make your ship more efficient. look at this:
Just add fire extinquishers here, and seal it off: improved output of bullet-hell!
-Remove useless corridors. You can use structur eto fill the empty hole if you want.
-Lower the amount of electrobolts, less will do almost as well and you can add some more damaging weapons instead, like lasers.
-One sensor array is as good as four.
-Where are your point-defenses? Missiles will be much les sof a threat if you use them.
-Add shields to protect the missile launchers on the "head".
-Place Command rooms in the sid eparts of the ship, incase of them being cut off they will flank your opponent.
-Remove doors: To many doors make your ship more expensive, and most don't get used, look at this madness:
-Hide the railgun deeper in your ship, now you can just focus fire and destroy it easily.
Also:
-Use wedges to improve the shape, take a look at the neck, which could look smoother with them. We are not playing a blocky game like minecraft here!
-After you optimised your ship, it will not only be more effective, it will also be cheaper. Because less crew, doors and corridors will be used.
Good luck!
