I think you need to trim back on the weapons, this is research vessel, it's not the Enterprise from Star Trek.
Keep the NLs but cut some of the secondary weapons, use the tonnage to up the cargo and the shuttles.

I have to agree there. I see no real purpose for the naval lasers on a research vessel and I could also see the PPCs being halved.
Aside from that it's a really nice design. I could see it carrying specialized small craft or DropShip for research and sample collection.

Who knows what it's going to find in the deep dark? Space-based life forms, hostile human settlements, possible alien forces?
As for the Naval Lasers themselves: They have many uses aside from combat. They can core out asteroids for research, they can dig out chunks of a planetoid or moon for study...the list goes on.

the NL can have multiple uses with the first and most important being anti-pirate weapons. Despite it being a research vessel, it is still a viable warship with a jump core that would just fit nicely into a pirate armada.
In addition, they can be used as clearing cannons on space junk larger then the normal guns can clear.
Last but not least, they can opperate as high energy drilling rigs to aid space crews with deep core sampling.
All are very good reasons to include one or two.

| Interesting ship, and I like it. One complaint-- isn't it a LITTLE slow?

It's not in any hurry.
What, are the planets and nebula going to run away?

Well ya, if you give em a couple billion years...
Still, wouldn't it be better to get there faster and have more time to explore?

It's an established practice in the BT universe that most ships don't exceed 1G when traveling unless they're either in combat or making a blitz toward their destination. Anything higher is uncomfortable for the crew, especially over extended periods.
And since the ship has a deployment time of over two years, I don't think greater speed would be of that much help.

It's just acceleration rate, the ship isn't going to get anywhere faster than with bigger engine, it's just less maneuverable.
