Most of them are pretty well laid out in the video, however, to summarize: 1: thin external armor. 2: thin frontal bulkheads. 3: no volumetric/kinetic protection (this is as simple as placing non-deforming blocks like blast doors or wheels behind walls and/or overlaying parts of the outside of your ship with catwalk) 4: no repair projector to allow destroyed turrets or critical components to regenerate from being destroyed. 5: Interior turrets as Point Defense. Since these have to be manually loaded and do almost no damage unless it's to small grids or players, this makes such a defense grid practically nonviable in a survival world. 6: over-reliance on Hydrogen. Your combat run-time assuming full tanks and O2 gens would be, in my estimation, 5 minutes or less. I could be wrong, on that figure, but since Jumpdrives take about 15 min to charge, you'll be stuck slowboating it on Ions when the H2/Ice run out.

Things you did right: 1: Gyros mounted facing outward. this allows them to act as a secondary armor inside the ship, protecting whatever is under them as opposed to them being knocked loose to bang around and damage things during maneuvers 2: Compartmentalization with large space gaps. This mitigates the need for anti-volumetric armoring, however, due to the external armor thinness, it as less of an effect on protecting squishy internals.

While nicely laid out and fairly advanced, it has it's flaws. Was fun to both fight with and fight against.
