At the official web site ship listing:

There is a section at the bottom of the ship description that has a
numerical rating for the ship in various categories, such as:
Mission Areas
AST: Anti-Starship Warfare
Destroy, disable or disrupt hostile assets and operations
BDO: Battlegroup Defense Operations
Conduct defensive action for the battlegroup in the theater of
operations

assets

The numbers seem to range from 1 to 10 and would be useful in making
ship-to-ship comparisons and for getting a better feel for what weight
each of the systems adds to the ship's capabilities.
