I've written several short stories featuring Cathbad, an Omega-class Ship's Brain. So far, he has been working (mostly) fine :) Here he is getting activated for the first time: https://soren-boye-petersen.itch.io/seven-gs-one-bard-zero-regrets

It's not stats as such but Colin Dunn did post a deckplan over on the 2300AD Facebook group

Ah yes. The Fifth Frontier War: the latest instalment in a five-century tradition of the Imperium and the Zhodani Consulate spending flipping great wads of cash to move three border systems two parsecs in one direction, declare victory, and start planning the next one.

"It's not going to work. She's still too light." Yevs peeled the backing off an adhesive strip, pressed a soda can firmly against the hull just below the airlock, and held it there for ten seconds while humming quietly to himself. "One hundred tons," he announced. "Jump certified. Someone file...
