I went a bit of a different route with mine:

Thoughts:

1. Wow, is that sluggish. At 1/2, you're going to be hard-pressed to maneuver in combat, even worse than an Aegis or Cameron, and on par with an Aquilla.  That's going to leave you more vulnerable, and while 2/3 might not seem like an improvement, it's going to help.

2. That's a whole lot of fighters, and not much cargo to support operations. Might not be a bad idea to drop some for more cargo and bigger engines.

Well, originally I just made this to be a tiny jump capable carrier, only after I was mostly done did I realize it bore some resemblance to the Titan... I'll edit the title to reflect that. Mostly the resemblance inspired the name, which is the Titan that governed constellations in mythology.

It is intended to be part of a larger fleet, rather than acting on it's own. I am slowly putting together a fleet of subcompact warships that are intended to basically be their own functional battlegroup and invasion force.

The only real function of this one is to provide a platform for fighter/LAM launch. Everything else is incidental. If I changed anything it would probably be to remove weapons for more cargo to support fighter operations. The only reason it has anything bigger than station keeping drive is because I wanted it to be able to do a 1g burn across the system.
