Strengths:

• Heavy Hitter: The Excubiarum-class corvette is built for a variety of roles, including punching above its own weight class. A swarm of Custos-class frigates can easily prove to be a serious threat to much larger ships, taking and giving out far more punishment than the typical frigate can.

Weaknesses:

• Slow: In line with Azure Imperium fleet tradition, the Excubiarum-class is heavily armed and armored, but painfully slow. It can easily be outrun and outmaneuvered by smaller ships.

Description: A venerable design that has served the Azure Imperium in some capacity for thousands of years, the Excubiarum-class has been tweaked and altered consistently to keep it up to modern standards.

You've left off the Maneuverability Section here.

At very low it be pretty closed to balanced.
