Afterseeing the reasons why my submission failed in Drakensis' Design Challenge I've reworked my design into the following by lower the ship's mass by 200K tons, removing the LF Battery, changing the armor type (thus lower the protection) and shaving some 20K tons of cargo. This is what I ended up with and BB less than half of he original while not sacrificing any weaponry.
