I designed a Kra'Vak SD for high fighter/SM threat environments (hunting
carrier
groups).  Mass 240, thrust 4, FTL, 72 hull integrity, 6 FC's, 10 K1's, 4
K3's, 18
k-packs, and 36 scatterguns.  It is a bit large as an escort (a ship
thrown to the
wolves of fighter stacks), but it can get close enough to slow carrier
forces to
destroy many (all?) of the fighters and a carrier or two.  Against fast
carrier
groups, it fends off the fighter waves and escapes, or controls the area
if there
are no other enemies present.

Against fleets of maxed out fighter densities, it should do pretty well.
 It is
moderately competent in heavy missile environments, but is otherwise
overly
