So i was looking at base frames and then i saw the upgrading the ship and saw weapon mounts and realized i was unsure what frames were worth so thought i would break it down, and figued i might as well share what i learned.
so first the information on the value of different mounts. from what we know:
arcs:
light:3 BP
heavy:7 BP
capital:12 BP
turrets:
light: 5 BP
heavy: 11 BP

and the frames:

tiny:
racer:guns are worth 6 BP and the ship is 4 BP
so racer is basically -2 BP
Interceptor:guns are worth 6 BP and the ship is 6 BP
so an interceptor is basically free
Fighter: guns are a bit hard on this one as it has a unquie rule but we can asume there are 2 case eather you can use the one tracked or you cant in your build, if you can its BP of the guns is 9, if you cant the BP of the guns is 6. this ship is 8 BP.
so if you can use them the ship is -1BP net cost and if you cant the ship cost 2 BP

Small:

shuttle:the gun is worth 3BP and the ship costs 6
so shuttle costs a net 3BP(this ship sucks)
Light Freighter guns are worth 12 BP and the ship cost 10
net gain of -2BP

medium:
Explorer:guns worth 14 BP and this ship costs 12
net cost of -2 BP
Transport:guns worth 23 BP and ship costs 15
net cost of -8 BP

Large:
Destroyer: guns cost 28 ship cost 30
net cost of 2 BP
Heavy Freighter:guns worth 27 ship costs 40
net cost of 13 BP(rather bad mostly paying for more expation bays)

Huge:
Bulk Freighter:guns cost 24 ship cost 55
net cost of 31 BP
Cruiser: guns cost 29 ship cost 60
net cost of 31 BP(hmm so 20hp, 5 increase, and 50 max crew is worth 4bays?)

Gargantuan:
Carrier:guns 64 BP cost 120 BP
net cost of 56 BP
Battleship: guns 85 BP cost 150 BP
net cost of 65 BP

Colossal:
Dreadnought:guns 124 BP cost 200bp
net cost 76 BP

this kind of outlines how good and bad each ship is in the game assuming it uses all of its gun slots.
