The ships are absolutely beautiful but damn they are so dreadfully slow! A few of the weapons also feel very underpowered.
I will be editing this with more well thought out opinions on balance.
A good example in regards to weapons, the combat mg could certainly find a place in the game as a low flux, low damage kinetic option at 55 or so dps with 70 flux usage, the problem is the damned thing costs 6 op which is more than even the dual autocannon at 5 o.o with 140-140 ish flux/dps. The combat mg should cost 3 op, 1 below the standard autocannon at 4 op and 110 flux - 100 dps.
The Grancursor also feels quite op starved, you would have to give it 0 op interceptors for it to even use it's mounts efficiently at all which feels off.
Mantarn at 105-110 op? Really cool ship but it has less op than a falcon which has lesser firepower, starts with higher flux dissipation and cap. All of that would be fine considering it is a little more defensible but it doesn't really come with OP to design it well. I would suggest at a minimum giving it 125 OP, if not 130.
