I know that the Foxbat Pathfinder (RCEG) also requires additional surface area for its turret sensor package, but I assume that's because the ship must be capable of manouver, as it will be used in a combat zone. For your package you might be able to dispense with this and limit the use of the sensors (or some sensors) to when the ship is not accelerating.

Surface area required by this turret (192
m2, which includes the 10 m2 for the turret) is far greater then the area the
turret itself uses. Sufficient area must be available on the parent ship's
hull in order to install this turret. Surface area breaks down as follows:
PEMS antenna: 30, AEMS antenna: 11, Maser comm: 1, Radio: 50, Densitometer:
100.
