You have enough space for endosteel. So composite is a flavor choice?

But this design looks like fun. Could punch above it's weight.

Composite and endo-steel both give back half the normal mass of the internal structure, but composite takes twice the damage normally inflicted under most (all?) circumstances.

Reinforced masses twice normal, but can absorb twice the damage and has other benefits (IIRC).

Endo-composite masses three-quarters the normal tonnage but only takes up half the crits of endo-steel and functions the same.
