Those sheets look really good. The next step, I would guess, is to see how well your format 'plays nice' with other ships. One good ship to try when you have the data would be the Gorn DN which has a lot of weapons.
How would those sheets look in landscape? Also, how many of these cards were you planning to fit on a typical 8.5" x 11" sheet?

@Iron Domokun: I am not really sure. The book says that traits that cannot be lost are in Italics, but none of them are. I would assume Lumbering and Slow cannot be lost. I saw some threads that seemed to suggest agile ships when crippled can still turn 90 degrees, but I think we need some clarification on that one.
Edit: good idea on the traits for weapons. It will save lines for the larger ships!
@LimeyDragon: I love your reference sheet and laminated it. In using it last night I also found a few things other than the battle shields online:
1) All Power to Engines! is fixed to 16" and does not give shields -2 that I can see.
2) All Hands On Deck is PD, so the May Only Fire 1 Weapon this turn depends on what is chosen, not mandatory.
3) Boost Energy to Shield has the info for All Power to Engines listed in it.
4) In Weapon traits, Devastating X has **Power** in there and not the description
That is it. Soon as you have an updated version, I am going to print and laminate again.
Thanks for making that!
I was thinking I could get two DN on a letter sized sheet. I would like to get 4 crusers, but I think 3 in landscape is probably more realistic. Have not tried yet. I am sure I could get 4 FG'a a sheet, but maybe I can squeeze in a few more . . . Have to see how that goes . . .
Second Edit: Did the Gorn DN. If the sheet is turned landscape, it can fit 2 DN for sure, and maybe 1 DN and 2 CA types. Portrait you can only get 2 DN's.

Not automatically, although I'm 99% certain it could be lost like any other non-permanent trait when a ship's crippled.
It's only been the "bad" traits in older versions of ACTA that are unremovable, so it's probably only Lumbering, Slow and Immobile in ACTA:SF that should have been in italics.
Very nice work 
A couple of thoughts
Shields - Whilst its a nice visual to have shield boxes - it might be easier to have it as a large box to write down the number as it goes up and down with the starting shield strength in the corner.
I agree that following traits should be in italics - all others being capable of being lost:
Immobile, Lumbering, Probes 0, Slow
Agile ships and turns - the turn score is doubled if crippled but it still seems to be 90 degrees (might be errated.........might not)

As personal preference, I like the Shield and Damage mark down boxes. I did my own ship cards, but these are very nice. Any way to get a full set?

Cool to see I'm not the only one working on a set of reference sheets for personal use. I'd say the number of us that apparently are is a good indicator of the desire for such a thing. Hopefully ADB/Mongoose doesn't take too long to put an official version out, especially if they're worried about "losing sales" to fan versions.
That'd be a workable approach, but the boxes have the advantage of, if you laminate the sheet (or stick it in a clear binder sleeve), you can quickly mark and erase as needed with a dry-erase marker.

One (last) thing you missed LimeyDragon: The Seeking trait is marked "ignores shields" which it doesn't. Instead, they don't have a chance to bypass shields like other weapons can.
