Mirfak

This is the first military starship I am planning to have go into production for Mirfak's Labule (star forces), currently scheduled for commissioning at about the time Mirfak reaches a population of 100,000,000. Please take the time to look over the specifications and come forward with any input you have. My goal is to be called a godmoder by as few people as possible when this thing launches, so if you have a problem with it please let me know so we can work something out. Please also note that these specifications are not final and may change slightly before launch.
Gel class (assault ship): $10,000,000,000
The Gel is the Labule’s mainstay in close ship-to-ship combat. Excelling far beyond galactic standards in speed and maneuverability, its defense shields and accommodations fail in comparison. It compensates for its lack of shields with laser cannons, which it uses primarily to shoot down enemy missiles, torpedoes, and mines, but can also be used with significant effect against enemy starships. Its main weapon is the powerful forward-mounted antiproton cannon, which can be used with great effect both offensively and defensively, though it has a very limited rate of fire. The Gel carries no hoksas, making it more defensively vulnerable in planespace.
