Why only have 2 shuttles? IIRC SM+5 is 30 tonnes, so you'd be able to fit 3 such shuttles into a 100 ton hangar bay and still have 10 ton to spare.

Alternatively one SM+6 shuttle, since IIRC that equates to 100 tons.

Or a third option, split the hangar module so that only 2/3 of it is hangar bay, and the last 1/3 is either cargo storage, reaction mass or habitat (extra lab space or garden space).

Also, I agree with the armour. Why have double armour on front? Then again, the ship seems fairly upgunned, with one full mass module devoted to ECM.
