I like the concept, but if the bonuses are identicle and the fitting attributes fairly similar it leads to a lot of racial homogenization. that seems to be the unfortunate side effect of all the wonderfull buffs, retools, and improvements being made of late. The wierd, quirky bonuses that werent really all that useful frequently were what made the ships feel more unique. I understand some of them are being integrated into the hulls themselves, but it still kinda feels like many of the ships are getting "roled" into being too similar.
additionally, i don't know if you were planning on looking into tweaking rigs at all, but the hacking/archeology/scanning rigs are pretty steep on calibration costs and i feel rigs in general could use some tweaking, but i will reserve that for another thread.
why not do something like this to help keep some of the racial flavor and make the ships perform a little better. i will italicize my changes for ease of reading

I hope not, this is too awesome right here
