Homeworld - Hiigaran Ion Cannon Frigate

Tried to remake the Hiigaran Ion Cannon Frigate from Homeworld in From The Depths.

Quoted from a description of an ion cannon frigate, which seems pretty accurate in this case too:
"Its main weakness comes from its lack on maneuverability and speed and the fact that its single Ion Cannon has a slow fire rate and can only fire in one direction due to the concentration of its beam. This leaves it very vulnerable to strike craft and should never be deployed without an escort."

Duo to the lack of fusion technology the particale cannon in this version is not nearly as powerful as the normal ion cannon.

Main and only armanent:
Long range particle cannon with 2 1001m input port arms each dealing 266237 impact damage, 10 seconds charge, 75% focus and no overclock.

Heavily armored front and decently armored everywhere else.
Has obvious weaknesses, mainly the exposed lens in the front being its only weapon.

Can easily defeat a Tyr at its normal combat range of 3000m and when put at 3500m it can defeat a Megalodon since its missiles can't reach.

With its cost being 1606883 materials it is obviously not very material efficient in terms of how much firepower you get out of it. It is however made to be very efficient engine wise. All CJEs produce around 20000 thrust/material or 1000 power/material.

I'm not an expert at the game and I will gladly take any suggestions/criticism, except for my use of CJEs :) .
