Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.

The first major issue with this ship: it is way too fast. Even military warships have needed to stay within barriers provided by the speed requirements.

There is a contradiction with the damage values of the ship, is it Tier 10 or Tier 11?

You can't stack shields, thus the dual-shield system this freighter is attempting to use is invalid.

A lot of the areas and sections only seem to be one line each. Some of them are two. These sections need to be expanded upon, and preferably if there is existing, available technology said technology would be used in this submission. More importantly however, is that the sections get more text at all.

Status: Pending

Notes
There are grammatical errors nearly completely covering this article.

I would imagine that even with effective maintenance this ship wouldn't last forever. It would still probably last for years, but not forever.

It would be quite helpful to give examples of what vehicles could fit inside the cargo bay when you expand its section.

Please add an OOC notes section for the article's possible future approval.

I intend to finish this review by:2/10/2018
 
...Huh.

I'll probably also put that into the Speed constraints later then so it's easier to find.
 
@Arbitrated I have fixed the tiers for hull and shields, switched the shield system to solely a conformal system, added an OOC section, and expanded the description of the cargo bays description and a reference to what size vehicles can fit in the bay.
 
It seems mostly alright now. I linked the U-1 in the cargo bay section for you ^^

Some of the sections, especially those lower down on the page, could use a little bit of expansion still, or maybe you could mash a couple of sections together to reduce headers - for example, the emergency and life support systems probably could be put together under a single header.
 
I have combined crew rec and medical, I also added medical to engineering as well as it makes sense to have a small medical kit station there, and I combined Passageways and maintenance conduits.
