Cost: only 12 million? thats way too low, the ones in the books range from 30-90 million for fighters..shuttles are more. Yours will definately be on the higher end of the spectrum - because it has both a forcefield and FTL drive. Other shuttles like the 4 person proctor which cost 250 million, should make mincemeat out of your shuttle (I'd term it a long range medium fighter). The 3 person CAF black eagle medium fighter (DB3), may be the closest comparison to your bullet is 75 million..Although I can see your short life engine cutting the cost some (I would rather have a longer life engine that cost more - since I don't want it dying)
The one thing I have noticed about the spaceships in the dimension books, is that you have almost no hope of taking out anything bigger than you. Your shuttle doesn't do any better than anything else. not a critique of your blueprints in particular, just wanted you to be aware of it.
Stealth: it doesn't have it, and without it I think your ship is in trouble, because its can't really deal with the best fighters on the market.
I think you are probably best off starting with the black eagle and modifying it as you see fit. If you can afford the Phase world ghost is probably your best choice from the books (but really expensive).
