Can't put 100 A batteries on a 4000 point ship if you have to have an
FTL
drive. You're 300 points too high. You can do this, though:

Class Name:	Kickbutt
Point Cost:	3736
Ship Class:	Supership (Military)
Mass:	500/250
Thrust: 1
	FTL Drive Equipped

Weapons 
Beams:	72 A Beam batteries with 3 firing arcs (Fwd, Port, Stbd)

Fire Control:	11 Fire Control Systems
	
Defensive Systems	
	10 Screen Generator Levels
	11 Damage Control Parties

Other Systems	
	1 Superior Sensor
	1 Indvidual ECM Module
	
Damage Points per Threshold Level	
	20 / 20 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 21

It's pretty slow, but then you're not going anywhere. If you want to
save
some points for another couple of ships or something, put in 43
megabatteries. The price drops to 3445. Either way, make sure you're
using
the damage control parties rules. 

I disagree with the AMT Star Destroyer model, though. Best model is a
single
Micromachines Shuttlecraft (it lulls them into a false sense of
security;
besides some of us have tonnes of these things lying around). A Borg
cube
would work, but it gives too much away.
