Manufacturer: Paragon Spheres

Armament: 4 medium Turbolaser Batteries 6 Heavy Ion cannon Batteries 8 Point-Defense Medium Laser Cannon Batteries

Hangar: 2 Squadrons or 12 light tanks

OK
4 medium turbolasers cannon batteries @ 4 x 4 for battery = 16
6 heavy ion cannon batteries @ 6 x 2 for heavy x 4 for battery = 48
8 point defense medium laser cannon batteries @ 8 x 4 for battery = 32
A battery is 4 weapons mounted in one mount.

A frigate normally has 30 caps, 10 warhead launchers, 12 defense cannons. Now that's old 2.0 scale which doesn't count anymore but its the closest we have to a way to judge currently.

As an assault frigate you are allowed more weapons but no fighter squadrons.

Assault frigates used to get 45 caps, 20 warhead launchers, and 8 defense cannons.

Your ship has 62 capital cannons and 32 defense cannons

Yes I know the canon Corona had that armament but alot of canon ships do not fit our scale. But its not overly bad. The issue is that it has this number of weapons and 2 squadrons.

Since this has no warhead launchers you can just switch these for either capital or defense guns

First lets figure out how to proceed.

You can take off the squadrons and leave the weapons as is.
Or
You can keep the 2 fighter squadrons and lower the weapons.
Or
Drop it to 1 squadron of fighters and lower the weapons not as much as above.
Or
Lower the production to Limited, make the squadron count 1 and just put it as limited to your faction
Or
Do 20 posts of development to keep it as is.

Hi there Reshmar! Yeah, I'm not stuck on the weapons. I wanted to base it around the Corona, and the Imperial II-class Frigate, which is seriously powerful in its own right. I didn't realize Batteries meant that many. How about if I just take batteries out, so it's not multiple weapons?

Oh, and Medium Turbolaser Cannons, could I make those Dual Medium Turbo Laser Cannons? Or would that be too many?

So
4 dual turbolaser cannons
6 heavy ion cannons
8 point defense cannons
2 squadrons

That would work with the speed and maneuvering being what they are.
You might even want to add a few more dual turbolaser cannons. something like 10 will be ok.
