v103, update: Found the survivability to be too low to justify the cost of this vessel. Upgraded the armour, tweaked the missiles. Minor other alterations and QoL updates. Punching power and survivability is much greater now.

To all: Much appreciated to the comments!
Specifically; Enderjed: AA is arguably the biggest weakness of this ship, so I'm hardly surprised. It has less AA power than the Tartarus, so I don't find your results that strange.
Vivicector: thanks for the comments. I agree on the downsides. It's the eternal struggle of trying to maintain distance (keeps you safe from close-range weapons) and running the risk of the AI being utterly incompetent. It's best to put it on manual mode if that happens.

I'm waiting on the rudder overhaul to spice up the manoeuvrability a bit, should make it more of a pleasure to use in manual driving mode!

It gives most of my boats a run for their money, but laughably struggles to deal with my bombers.

Hey, I have run some tests of your battlecruiser against my HC199 Longbow, since they are in the same price range. I must say, your guns are very nice, they rly gave my ship a run for its money. Perhabs me too should switch from 250mm 73 RMP to something with more Alpha strike capabilities. Looks good also, something I kinda fail to do every time) Kudos for making the jet engines that way, a smoke stack that rly has a purpose!
I have only one advice for you to check. In my testing, your ship has nearly disabled one of my main guns and damaged the other, but then started to run trying to gain distance and bringing the front guns out of combat, while my ship chased and and shot with a front cannon and rear one too sometimes. So Cerberus lost simply cause it couldn't bring 2 main gun turrets to bear. IMHO, the issue is too high range to disengage. Standard AI behave kinda stupidly when it tries to disengage and can't.

I appreciate the preview of it cut in half to see everything internally, helps with understanding how its built and where the important stuff are. Very detailed and cool vessel
