Space: 663 / 670 <- unless your going for a small ship style, you should add a few decks. 670 isnt enough for most of the good mods you have access to
Attack: 3958
Defense: 2958
These suffer partially becase of your deck limit you put on yourself. Another reason why they suffer is because your AP/h is only 2000. You even said yourself you have 43 open planet slots. Get colonizing. Only take VL+ VR+ artifact worlds. Your mining shouldnt matter right now. 317.4M upkeep can be easily covered through GTC. Selling even 1 ACF is worth more than your upkeep.

Konqul: Attack +20% <- good choice
Excavator: Artifact +10% <- good choice
670 Decks
17070 Cargo
1399 Tactical Officers <-- You need more. Use rescued prisoners to increase this number and shipbots to increase decks
1330 Helmsmen <-- same as above. Android helmsmen are used for these
2047 Scientists
Battles 71625 (Grand Legend) (laughable)
Player Kills 488 <-- try and get enough red badges for the Dominion Cannon Mark III and Dominion Auto-Blaster sets
Deaths from Players 552
Non-Player Kills 3982

Scans Performed 1086
Successful Hacks 99
Successful Raids 151
Minerals 1733 units / hour <-- insignificant still, no need to raise it
Artifacts 1921 points / hour <-- This is what is hurting you the most. Follow the advice I gave at the top to fix it. You want to be well above 5k AP by rank 300. preferably nearing 10k AP. This shouldnt be too hard if you focus exclusively on AP worlds to bring it up, and rebuild your other artifact worlds to pure production if they arent any better than VL ER.
Research 4006 research / hour <- decent, only take VM R gas for research. Eventually you want to bring your gases to 15x RP and turn them into plasmas
i have 43 open planet slots, just saying
There you have it. I tackled the main issues for you, but it is hard to say more without knowing your playstyle and ship modules you have available, along with your research tree
