Compared to Reinforced Structures (medium armor comp), Battle Prow (large armor comp) has more more armor, but it is very little after diminishing returns kick in. Reinforced Structures also has high void resist, while Battle Prow doesn't have any special resistances. Battle Prow does have a unique advantage in that it provides some electronics dice, but I feel like it is not worth the mass cost when Reinforced Structures is an option.
I suggest Battle Prow give as much Pilot dice as it does Electronics. While it obviously would provide some benefit to any kind of build using the Battle Prow, more components that provide Pilot dice would expand options for the rare Pilot-focused build.
Also, I've suggested this before, but I'd like Battle Prow to give a small bonus to boarding. Not only as a nod to STRPG (Battle Prow upgrade gave a boarding bonus in that game), but also as a way for Battle Prow to have a special feature to make it good for a particular role, like how Reinforced Structures gets a lot of void resist.
