I love how you have the airlocks in the middle of your ship! How does that affect boarding parties though? I always try to place my airlocks in a spot that I can defend from, with cover and a killing zone for intruders.

"Internal" airlocks are one of those design choices that I think really help force a ship to avoid the curse of the pizza box.

Another is making every section of the ship a separate module delineated by hull, rather than by internal walls. It's one of those cases of adding a little extra challenge rather than optimizing the fun out of your own game.
