Yea, I focused mainly on function with the ability to expand. I started out it was just the circle cylinder with scoop and gravity generator at first. I also had 2 refineries because I scrapped my rescue ship and had already done some mining with a mining ship at that point.

In fact I mostly just had framework blocks for the ship to start since they only require 1 Steel Plate to place. I was able to mine faster than the refineries could process, even at 10x refine speed, so I used the time to weld up the hull blocks and add to the ship. Of course I added the additional refineries first to increase processing rate.

This looks great but I'll have to reserve final judgement until I've looked at it in game. I love the fact that you built it in survival first as too many people build ships that will act as "destroyers" or "carriers" or whatever without realizing the time and resources it would require to build something so big in survival. This is especially apparent with all the wasted space some people include in their designs for cosmetic reasons.
