Yeah, works OK. It's certainly enough to distinguish one design from another, that's using different parts. The icons have been scaled down to 30%. We could also put it to the left or right. This would reduce the landscape format a little, considering that some ships might be high, instead of long.

edit: These are of course supposed to be finished designs, rather than empty hulls.

That requires players to give all their ships unique and memorable names, and would require players to know and use the names given to designs by other players. What "stats" would be adequate to identify ships isn't clear, and I suspect there aren't any for many cases. What is the "primary weapon system" in the general case also isn't clear, and doesn't cover cases with no logical "primary" weapon.
I was mainly refering to things like SR, PD, LR, etc - the role in which the player intends to use the ship, which I imagine is the most important stat and which could easily be shown using these abbreviations(or an icon), next to the name, or in one of the 4 corners.
