Back to the drawing board.
5x point defence
1X torpedo
ESM

nw the question is:
do i put on a extra point defence, heavy cannon, or an extra torpedo
id go with cannon,just so you have some heavy attack power on your own.

Name: Joesph Inkheart
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Personality: Serious
Nationality: British
Rank: Officer Cadet/ Lt Commander (this is the only part of character creation I set.)
Appearance: Tall and heavy set, with a military buzz cut and deep blue eyes.
Bio: One of the few remaining cadets left from humanitys homeland, Joseph was born into a caste of high ranking nobles. Unfortunatly he was severly injured at a young age by a rusty pocket knife, the screeching of the knife extending is his only fear. He was them on home schooled before heading to officer acadamy. From there he begain to date a girl of similar age, they went through the school together and ended up knowing each very well. But as all things must, it ended. She fell for another man. This tore the heart from Joesphs chest, and he made a vow never again to plege himself to another. All of this has led him up to the point today, ready to graduate.
Ship Name: Havok
Class: Destroyer
Appearance: Broad winged and sleek
Hardpoints: Ion cannon (Wing mounted)
Ion cannon (Wing mounted)
ESM pod (Internal)
Interceptor hanger. (Rear facing)
Heavy cannon (Side facing)
Heavy cannon (Other side facing)
Bio: A relatively old ship it has been in service for near on 30 years, it is armed with a large amount of high power weapons capable of devastating all kinds of ships, and has limited defence for its self from strike craft and torpedos. Credited for 20 confirmed ship kills and damagins 3 score more, the vessel has seen alot of action, and engine 3 (of 4) is malfunctioning, and in need of dry dock to fully repair it, even though of this problem the ship can still move a 90% of normal speed when not charging the shields and cannons, in combat it can reach 75% of normal speed. The crew are a uneven mix of rookies (lots) and veterans (few).

Snarky wrote:I think we need more torpedoes. Anyway, my ship is meant to be largest and sturdiest structurally as it sacrifices tech for superstructure being one of the older 1st gen ships.
I also agree on battleships being dedicated gun platforms. I'd like to see more ship classes to fit in the support role (like electronic warfare modules for frigates or science vessel type classes)
Also, is shield and superstructure fixed? i.e. hardpoints = hull? Because I'd like to swap shields for hull if possible to fit in with my ship bio (i.e. a standard battleship has 8 hull and 8 shield for example, could I swap it to have 12 hull and 4 shields to represent the antiquated tech my ship has but compensates by being a formerly a larger class ship that's been downgraded to battleship status and refitted to keep up with some of the newer ships [like Darkvoid's new battleship])
Sure, I'll let you drop 50% shields for a health boost, but only you as i feel it fits the bio you gave, and you forgot one thing: Battleships have 10 health and shields as standard, you're end result will be 15 Hull 5 shields.
EDIT: wait a minute... you said your ship was downgraded to battleship? From a Dreadnought?
Will post more later, on my way to my final exam, wish me luck!
Not exactly, my ship is a sort of proto-dreadnought, not an actual dreadnought but sort of the bridging between battleship and dreadnought. It's an outdated model so it's nowhere near as powerful, and the subsystems are meant to be incredibly outdated (hence the lack of shields, onboard AI) but has sheer mass going for it. It can't go one on one with a conventional dreadnought, but can give a battleship a run for it's money.
I'll update my ship bio on the first page to reflect this. Also didn't see the message about 6 years training, i'll also update my character profile's age from 32 to 38 to reflect this.

We should remember that we'll be fighting on a battlefield with no up or down, allowing for some pretty zany tactical maneuvers. I call this maneuver the Kessler Turn:
1- Fly behind and above an enemy vessel, turning to minimize yourself as a target and to bring the majority of your weapons to bear.
2- When you are on top of the enemy vessel and your broadside is facing the top of said vessel, open fire.

I think we should remember that maneuvering through space is different to traditional nautical maneuvers since there is no friction.
So a full stop will not necessarily stop the ship, but you'll need to go into full reverse to come to a stop.
Also, does distances matter when firing torpedoes? For example, one round is mentioned, but if I fire them point blank, will there be a delay? Same thing if firing from 10km+ away, would it take 2-3+ turns to reach it's target?

Oh fine you can start with the rest, now stop with the puppy dog eyes or feel my boot dammit!
Note about torpedoes: they need range to arm and track their target, as firing or storing them armed is far too dangerous, if you fired them point blank they might still hit, but wouldn't penetrate or explode. (although it would be a funny response to someone getting all up in your grill) the one round is inclusive of their travel regardless of distance, as once armed and tracking they accelerate and can perform far more demanding maneuvers.
