Strangely enough the designs I have been working on are very similar to
the
Islamic designs you have created, thrust 4(advanced), with 1 screen and
around 5% armour with an almost identical array of offset class 2's. The
main difference is that I have been mounting the class 3's (and the
class
4's on one mass 182 monstrocity I have fallen in love with) in 1 arc,
but
then I figure part of the fun with advanced drives is getting the single
arc
weapons to bear on the target.

I shall examine your Islamic designs more closely for inspiration...
