Babylon 5 Warlock class destroyer

Description
I’ve always loved the aesthetic of the Warlock class destroyer from the Babylon 5 universe, so I had to choose it for my very first attempt at a combat CV design in Empyrion! I would like to give a quick shout out to Jrandell for both the inspiration and the technical knowhow. I might have dug into a few of the vehicles you’ve made to help me through some rough spots! Thank you for your excellent work!

I’d also like to thank Indigo Synn, their LCD screen template was a fantastic help and burst of inspiration also!

Now to the design, as mentioned at the beginning, it was inspired by the Warlock class destroyer from the series Babylon 5. While mine is not a match block for block, I think I got pretty darn close. It is a class 7 and way over 7500 CPU, so I know that’s going to limit her use on some servers. She’s laid out linearly and if you’re running the entire length it might take you a little bit. Fortunately, most of the things you’re going to want to interact with regularly are relatively close to each other.

Here’s some stats:
Dimensions 50x214x36 (you’re going to need a good sized landing pad)
40 turrets total
6 mining lasers
8 advanced constructors
45 growing plots
2 bridges
T-2 Shield
Offline Protection
Outer hull is all combat steel
Multiple O2 stations
Fully stocked med bay
Multiple first aid stations
Showers and bathrooms (going for a little realism here, lol)
Medium sized hangar area with 3 routes of entry – you can fit one decent sized SV or quite a few smaller ones in the hangar

As I mentioned previously, this is my first attempt at a combat CV. I’ve had Empyrion since the early alpha days, but I’ve only recently gotten into playing earnestly. I wouldn't take this ship into a PvP fight, but it does give a good accounting of itself in a PVE situation.
Regardless, I’d love to hear some feedback or see what someone with a little more time in ship design could do with it. Thank you!

P.S. I wouldn't take her planet side, especially if you have weight/volume turned on. I'm currently playing with her on the HWS NA server and making some tweaks along the way. Once I'm done running her through her trials I'll upload the changes to the workshop. Thanks to everyone who've dropped by and gave a thumbs up, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the design if you've had a chance to play around with her!

P.S.S. Made some changes based on playing it on the HWS NA server. I haven't adjusted the turret count, but just added in some quality of life items that I missed on the first publish:

Added container controllers after playing her on a server with weight and volume turned on.
She now has controllers for ammo, two big ones for input/output of materials and an ore controller
Added more O2 tanks
Added Wireless (how did I miss this the first time around?!?!?)
