What movement system do you use - Vector or Cinematic?
Which fire arcs (F, FP etc.) do the weapons cover?

You're *very* light on PDS. While missiles probably aren't that much of
a 
problem (depending on the exact cloaking rules you use though!), you're
in 
serious trouble against a carrier force. If their ships are in your 
effective weapons range, your ships are close enough to *them* that
their 
fighters can catch you with their secondary move.

Design legal. If this is intended for Cinematic movement, thrust-4 is
much 
too slow to aim a single-arc weapon though.

The ship only uses 60 Mass. Looks like 2 Mass of weapons that have gone 
missing.

All OK.

>12 x PDS
>1 x ADFC

Legal design, but as John A. said you definitely want a second ADFC - 
remember, each ADFC only allows you to protect *one* friendly ship
within 6".

Design uses only 89 Mass; looks like 1 Mass of weapon/PDS missing

OK

1 Mass missing again, looks like a weapon or PDS

>Condor Dreadnaught

OK
