ONE point defense system, and no Beam-1's?  What are you going to do
about enemy fighters?

You need a Mass 3 hanger to carry 2 mass of transports.

This seems a bit light--to put it mildly.

Is that "six at a time", or "six total", which hardly seems
worthwhile.

Which means you'd better not try a hot landing--against any opposition
more sophisticated than farmers + rifles, your first couple of squads
will be gone before your second delivery gets down.  In fact, thinking
of the Boers, they might have a problem dealing with farmers+
rifles....

All told and assuming your math adds up, I'd say you've loaded the
ship with too many missions in mind, resulting in a design which can't
really do anything well.  Of course, there have been RealWorld designs
like that, but you may nonetheless want to split it into two smaller
ships as BIF suggested--say a special ops or assault cruiser and a
normal CE.

If you want to keep it as one ship, I'd consider dropping the
ortillery, the streamlining, and the B3, and add more landers, B2, and
